Hi all
New to this forum stuff so go easy. Booked in for a right TKR using the Zimmer protocol (apparaently a custom 3D cutting jig thingy made in Germany from a detailed MRI - but using an "off the shelf" joint) on August 7th.
All the best. Peter

Welcome @SlowPedro ! I have just found out about the new type of knee replacement. I miss read and thought you were also getting the custom made joint. Even without the custom job your surgeon will have a better idea of the joint you need. The pre and post op info here is great, be sure to read through all the info and suggestions.
 
@Rxtech Yeah, a surgery mate! I too am scheduled for LTKR on August 7th. Welcome to the club. My surgery is scheduled as an outpatient procedure so my pre-op jitters about pain control, etc., were pretty high until I found this site. Great information to help minimize the anxiety. I look forward to working through our recovery together and the support of this group.
 
@SlowPedro Another August 7th surgery - me too. It seems like our "class" is getting larger for the 8/7 date. Maybe we should start planning a post-op anniversary celebration for the August HotShots! Good luck with your surgery.
 
I am having my left TKR August 31 after two years of pain an injections. This will be my third surgery after two surgeries for ligament damage and scar tissue,then arthritis set in 30 year later. Looking forward to getting back to a more normal life.I've been working out,an have myself and my knee in pretty good shape.Hope it helps.I'm going with the Conformis custom knee.Imput welcome.

Here are my pre-op pictures from two previous surgeries from 30 years ago from ligament damage where they took tendon to replace the ligament,then a year later they removed scare tissue and the internal staples. Those two surgeries probable cause the arthritis to set in years later.

Welcome @jeffm1955 . Can't wait to see how your high tech knee works out. So far we are the last two to get ur new knees. I have learned a lot from this site. I am sure you will be prepared too.
 
Thanks bashbago, good luck with your surgery. I'm sure we will both do fine. Keep us posted.

I believe my arthritis is partly genetic, and much overuse ...years of first running, then high impact aerobics. who knew too much exercise would come back to bite me?! Have not been able to walk my dog with my sister , and a lot of other every day things really since 2014. Wouldn't you know it...I'm on vacation from work ( retail...standing all day..usually 25,000 steps on fit bit), and my knees feel so much better that I am questioning surgery :(
