My wife had her first knee replaced in November and she was in rehab for 3 weeks and then home. She had been living in pain for several years had had rooster comb injections and had it scoped out but it finally got to where she had to have surgery.
She went back for the other knee replacement surgery the first week of this month and this time the doctor used a robot to make the incisions. There was a huge bruise on her upper thigh and calf where the machine clamp to her leg but that was the only negative effects of the robot. This time she stayed in rehab for 10 days instead of 3 weeks is using a lot less pain medication and doing very well. The doctor said that the robot can cause up to 30% less pain and 30% faster healing than conventional surgery. You might want to look into finding a doctor that uses the robot if you're going to have surgery done on your knees. The doctor said this was cutting edge technology (no pun intended) and they had just gotten the robot in February of this year.
The part about infections is correct, she can't go to a dentist for the next 6 months and when she does go she has to be on antibiotics before a routine cleaning
