Hi all, I hope you are all doing well!
I am in the early stages of recovery for my microfracture and call already tell that things are still really bad with my knee. I know its only early but you just know!
When I first had my MRI towards the later part of last year everything wasn't too bad with only degeneration and chondral loss in my lateral compartment. After my recent procedure and reading the op report I can see I have moderate to severe degeneration in all 3 compartments.
As a result of this I am ineligible for an osteotomy and my surgeon said we want to get you to 50 and I'll be happy! He also went on to say that my days of running around with my daughter are numbered. That's 20 years away and I really don't know what to do.
I'm going to get a second opinion but being 30 what do you do if the surgeon thinks a TKR isn't the right option? Just keep searching until I find one that will? I'm just over it.
I've also loaded below my operating report so if anyone thinks it doesn't sound that bad feel free to comment!
