Katie , If the ortho says surgery don't go anywhere but the Baptist
in Boston.It is the BEST ortho hospital in the US!!! Its only an hour away. Nobody comes form around he world to go to providence
or Fall River
for surgery they go to Boston . Your too young to have some local hack cut you up and screw up your knee forever. I had my hip replaced 18 months age up there and they are fantastic up there. I'm 50 and I was back to work in 17 days and now I can out hike my teen age boys. If you need the names of some great Doctors
let me know. Good luck
Jim
