Two Knee Replacements at Once
It is called bilateral knee replacement. Two knees. At the same time. Usually it is performed by one surgeon; at times it is done simultaneously by two surgeons. And it is a massive trend in knee replacement nowadays.
THE BEE’S KNEES PODCASTStories, articles, interviews of knee surgery and recovery… and life after surgery.
We focus on the patient in this weekly podcast. Our objective is to improve the whole knee replacement (and other knee surgeries) experience from months before surgery to months afterwards. In the pod you will also learn about the pre and post-surgery tool, The X10 Knee Recovery System™.
X10 is a proud supporter of Knee Radio 1, a 24/7 radio station all about knee surgery recovery. It’s a broadcast of the best of The Bee’s Knees Podcast.
New content is added on an ongoing basis: interviews with knee surgeons, physical therapists, knee researchers, and knee patients. The hosts on Knee Radio 1 explore threats to a proper knee replacement recovery and a wide range of clinical topics. There is a full 6-hour show on Saturdays (noon to 6:00 p.m.) devoted to Preparation for Knee Replacement (Saturday Prehab). The shows provide health and wellness programming to inspire you to be healthy after a knee surgery.

People talk about self-driving cars. That’s all part of robotics and is incredibly interesting. It’s important work that Elon Musk and others are doing in that area. This knee robot, unlike self-driving cars, which is really technology for the future, it’s already there.
I must admit there was a certain amount of competition as I was motivated to beat my wife’s record of progress on the X10! I combined warming the muscles prior to exercise and following up with ice to reduce swelling.
More and more I was alarmed at the growing number of people getting early knee replacements. We have the baby boomers tripping into 65 and over. There’s three quarter of a million of these things done right now. That is scheduled to double in a few years

The things that you get when you walk into a senior activities center are bigger than the exercise class, or the card group, or any of the presentations that are going on. It’s the opportunity to build relationships.
Generally after a knee surgery when your knee joint is swollen, there is a lot of exudation and fluid built up. These fluids can ultimately result to a scar tissue formation wherein your range of motion can be restricted or maybe even making it hard for you to regain your range of motion.
Patty did most of her recovery at home. She faithfully worked on her rehab each day. She consulted with her X10 Coach, strategized on next steps. And, Patty found that her recovery went quickly, to the point that she could live as she would like after her knee replacement, without complication.
A scar is the marking that remains after tissue damaged from a cut, burn, or other wound has healed. Scar formation is a natural process. Scars result from replacement tissue being somewhat structurally and functionally different than the original tissue that was injured.
