Hi - just got insurance approval to proceed on June 11th. Bilateral medial unicompartmental replacements (unless there's more damage under the patella than the MRIs revealed).

I've been putting this off for a while but I'm finally both mentally and physically prepared to take it on. Had an extensive osteochondral autograft in my right knee in 2000 that has served me well, and an osteochondral allograft in my left knee in 2014 that didn't take. Some progressive valgus but my surgeon and radiologist agree it should be at least somewhat correctable.

Wish me luck!
 
@TKAA Good Luck on your Bilateral PKR! I had my Right PKR 10/18. I am scheduled for my Left PKR / TKR July1st.
My first PKR I tried to break the recovery record. I found it does not work that way. I have a MUCH different plan for my 2nd. I will Rest Elevate and Ice. I did not find BoneSmart till 3 weeks into recovery. The BoneSmart way worked MUCH better than pushing recovery as fast as possible.
 
Thanks Rick. I appreciated the links in your recovery thread. Good advice.
 
Best wishes for a great recovery. I had bilateral TKR on Mar 16 & it has not been as bad as I expected.
