Hi,
Who has successfully returned to running after a partial knee replacement? I'm not talking about jogging a few miles, I'm talking about successfully running 1/2 and full marathons. My surgery is scheduled for January 29th and I am already planning for a fall marathon. I had a tibial osteotomy exactly ten years ago on the medial side and squeezed out 10 good years of marathoning from my knee. Now I need a partial on the same knee/same side and I'm hoping to get another 10 good years. And please, no lectures about not running on a replacement knee. I've had these discussions with my surgeon and he fully supports my goals.
