I awoke one morning and literally could not walk or put pressure on my right leg. The pain was excruciating and constant. At that moment I knew I had reached the “bone on bone point of no return.”
My surgeon agreed that using the X10 ONLY was fine since the results I was getting were so great. Smiles and happiness! The X10 was definitely the right decision as was my decision to do the bilateral knee replacement surgery.
Knee Replacement Revision. Dr. Carl Freeman had 21 knee surgeries prior to gettting a total knee replacement revision and finally getting it right. He describes his recovery with the X10 here.
Joseph Salama, MD specializes in general orthopedic surgery, which includes treatment of fractures, arthritis, disorders of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, reconstructive surgery and arthroscopic surgery.
Immediately following knee replacement, pain and swelling make regaining range of motion a challenge. The swelling inhibits movement as the knee area is bulkier, tender and just not as mobile as it would be without the swelling which may permanently impede flexibility if left untreated.
Long-form talks from three orthopedic surgeons. .Dr. Kenneth Krumins, Dr. Chris Manseau, and Dr. Robert Dean speak to the members of Knee Group The Villages.
In early 2016, Frank underwent total knee replacement on his left leg, which went well. The next phase however proved to go NOT so well, and for one reason or another, Frank ended up living with a 102 – 103 degrees of flexion for the next 2+ years. “Normal” flexion for most of us is somewhere between 135 – 140 degrees, with nothing hindering us.
Frank was stuck!
In 2015 I was rear-ended at a stop light. I knew immediately that my leg was injured. My knee recovery after a car accident lasted for more than three years. Arthroscopies, ligament repairs and even a Manual Manipulation Under Anesthesia. It was only when I got on the X10 that I was finally able to get my life back.
To some degree you have to take charge of your knee recovery. Take an active role in everything that happens once you are out of that operating room and taking your first steps with your new knee. You are the coach and you have to lead the many members of your own “team knee.”
Jack McDonnell took advantage of three important new tools to great advantage for his bilateral surgery: MAKOplasty Robotic Assisted Surgery, BEMER Physical Vascular Therapy, and The X10 Knee Recovery System™. In his own words Jack tells his story of surgery and recovery.
