In 1973 I was heavily into Motocross. Got my left leg broken out sideways at the knee. Shattered the tibial plateau. They put it back together as well as they could. Total replacement in '94. Total revision in '98. I have had to learn how to walk 3 more times than most people.

But let me assure you that the procedure for the surgery, the technology for the new knee has come a loooong way. I wish you a successful surgery and a complete, speedy recovery.

One bit of advice though. DO THE THERAPY. It doesn't matter how great the doctors did. If you don't do the therapy you will not walk. Best of luck to you!
