Sorry for posting such a general question, but I did several searches and didn't see any similar threads.
I had my meniscus removed almost 40 years ago as part of a knee reconstruction involving my MCL and ACL. About 10 years ago my orthopedist recommended at TKR but I decided to manage the pain rather than give up sports. I may be at the end of that road, but still hope to return to sports (soccer, tennis, volleyball) after TKR. Is this the right place to discuss people's experience with this?
I am in the Unites States, San Diego specifically, but would travel to find a good fit with a surgeon if necessary. I am just beginning research in earnest. What are reasonable expectations? What surgeons are on the cutting edge of embracing the return to sports? How have their results been relative to risk? Any guidance would be much appreciated!
