I do want to thank all you guy's for buying all these parts...my company makes Knees...Hips ...and many "bones" as well as mesh implants and spinal parts...our Colorado facility makes a lot of the tooling ( reamers.. rasps and scalpel sets) for the process...we also make trauma mesh and mammogram grids... the amount of these things I see going out the door insures that I'll get to retire in a few years...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I just want to find a procedure with hardware that will allow me to kneel on the knee after the replacement. If I could clear that hurdle, I would try to get it done in December at Baptist Hospital in Boston.

Ross, knee pads help, but it's the amount of bend that determines whether you sub out the baseboard or not.... IMO

Been working on fuel tank in das boat, I go up and down like a giraffe trying for a drink of water,,, it ain't pretty!

Hmmm....I'm thinking 🤔 how many cool fishing trips this knee cost me...

Can you imagine what a thread like this might look like in 40 years. I've been waiting for my new body for weeks, has anyone had such a delay to get their new chassis for the spring run? I swear at times this seems like the old days, when they actually put new parts and pieces in, instead of just replacing the body.
