“It has worked out better than I could have hoped, and now I wish I had done the knee-replacement years ago.” Chuck M. Read the Complete Profile     "I avoided surgery for fear that I would be disabled at 60. Then, I realized I was already handicapped at 45." Virginia D. Read the Complete Profile     "Believe me, I put both knees to the test every day. I just happen to prefer my ADVANCE® Medial-Pivot Knee." Virginia S. Read the Complete Profile     "I have no limitations and don't worry any more about things I used to just wish I could do … because now I can!" Don Read the Complete Profile     “It felt much better immediately after surgery. The surgery was on a Friday, and on the following Monday I drove my car,” he said. “After five and a half weeks my wife and I walked six miles.” Dr. Bill Read the Complete Profile     A few weeks after surgery, Scott was only using a cane, and now he is walking unassisted. "I can do everything I could do before, but now I don't have the pain. Best of all, my range of motion is almost the same, and my new knee is already stronger than my old one. It is incredible." Scott Read the Complete Profile     “My new knees brought me back to life. I didn’t even realize I had lost my ability to live until I had surgery because the transition happened so slowly. I feel like I am part of the human race again, and it feels good.” Sam Read the Complete Profile     “I am very excited for everything I can now do, like walking around during lunch, working in the yard, having a better social life and even doing household chores. I am so happy that I giggle all the time.” Kelly Read the Complete Profile   “The stability of my knee is amazing and most of the time I can't even tell that I have had a replacement.” Kimberly H. Read the Complete Profile   “I know I am 81 years old, but I still want to get out and enjoy my life. I just wasn’t satisfied with my quality of life. It wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I just want to keep moving, and now I can.” Betty D. Read the Complete Profile   “I’m a goal-oriented individual, and I believe that if you want something, you have to go after it and do it. When I was struggling so much with my knee, I didn’t see the horizon too brightly. But after my knee replacement, it’s starting to look much better.” Roger Read the Complete Profile   “Prior to my surgery, I couldn’t even walk a mile.” Cathey Read the Complete Profile   “This knee has made a huge difference in my quality of life. Thankfully I can now have my cereal with milk because I can walk to the back of the grocery store without pain.” Patricia Read the Complete Profile   “I couldn’t walk more than half a block before surgery, and now I can walk with no problems,” said Margaret. She can’t wait to start dancing again. Margaret Read the Complete Profile   “After all those years of not being able to carry its own weight, my left leg had really atrophied. Since the surgery, the left leg is starting to muscle back up. I can now hike for several hours and not be in pain all day the next day.” Edgar Read the Complete Profile

Judy		William
"I couldn’t do anything before the surgery without crutches. Now, I’m back to normal." Judy Read the Complete Profile     “For one thing, I’m not bow legged anymore and in fact I gained about an inch in height. So it was like cosmetic surgery, ” William said with a laugh. “The important thing is that I don’t have any knee pain. I couldn’t be more satisfied.” William Read the Complete Profile   Only 24 hours after surgery, Barbara was able to walk down the hall of the hospital. She no longer feels bone-on-bone grinding and was thrilled to have two such different procedures that delivered a similarly spectacular result.  Barbara Read the Complete Profile
