    TKR Soon Open For Business

    Like me many people had their surgery postponed, well sounds like it will be back to business in a few weeks or so. It’s been recommended that elective outpatient surgery be resumed where feasible. Back in business folks!

    TKR My TKR in 10 days/ Coronavirus. Am very nervous

    Maplemarm: I discussed my cancelled surgery for knee replacements with my surgeons scheduler and she said they are canceling post op appointments. I would call your surgeons office and ask if there is any concern about skipping the appointment. They will probably tell you if you are not...

    TKR Surgery cancelled today!

    You aren’t alone, mine is cancelled for 3/18/2020. I was thinking of postponing anyway due to the coronavirus. June in Michigan is better than March anyway, more motivation to get outside and walk and just makes for a better environment to rehab. Midas well look at the bright side, not much I...

    THR Skateboarding and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after Hip Surgery

I can tell you that the traditional hip works slightly better than the resurfaced hip only because when I do sitting splits and turn to...
