I've had three left knee surgeries. Two arthroscopic and one reconstruction. I have relied on my "good" leg for years and now in the past month it has given me trouble. I hope my right knee doesn't have to undergo the blade eventually. The two scopes I had were not that bad but the reconstruction was terrible!!!! Good luck with your recovery!!!

This was a complete replacement-they have it down to a science-computer align the knee-computer generated cut- It's amazing--took bow out of leg-didn't realize over years of wear u tend to bow your leg!!!
