Partial knee replacement

[Bobcat]

Haven`t had a knee replaced , but did have both hips done .... and did a lot of research before deciding on a Doctor and Hospital .
This guy isn`t in your area , but his website has a lot of information on knee and hip replacements and the procedures ... stephenmurphy.org . All he does is hips and knees .... and the best advice I can give is to go to someone who has done hundreds of the operation you want ... not someone who says , I remember doing that a year or two ago . Also , if possible , get in as good physical shape as possible ... makes the recovery a little easier .
I also called several of my Doctor`s patients ( one I knew ) and asked about their experiences . You are doing the right thing in asking for experiences/info etc from all sources .

I had a partial right knee replacement November 12th 2008. I was back at work 4 days later. It went well and I have gone to rehab. I still have some pain that they tell me will go away. The strangest thing is that when they crack your knee open they cut the nerves that run from the inside of the leg and your knee will be numb for a year or so. I destroyed my inner knee digging with a shovel in hard clay (don't ask!) and I was in constant pain until the surgery. Mine was done as an outpatient and I was at the clinic at 6AM and loaded in the car to go home at 10:30 AM.
