I have heard that MIS is easier and less invasive with a shorter re-coup time.
Then I heard about gender knees. I am a woman, 54 yrs and need both knees replaced. I just don't know what the qualifying factors would be.
I know there is a difference in the size of the incision. There are some doctors that said I wouldn't qualify for MIS- but then I am not sure if that Dr. practiced MIS or only Total Knee. I heard about the Zimmer knee but then I would have to go to the Dr. who worked with that manufacturer.
It's big business to have a TKR- I'm just not sure what to trust.
Anyone have Dr. they know and trust in the SF Bay Area?
Anyone have both done at the same time? If not how long after the first one did you have the second?
