Use a surgeon that uses custom designed knees for your body... not off the shelf knees. Save your knee caps if they can... Work like the devil during rehab... immediately, not weeks later..or you'll restrict/limit your flexibility.. you need to break through the scar tissue that's building up. Be prepared for some excruciating pain during the early rehab period. Knee stiffness may last as long as a year..so don't be discouraged.. they don't tell you this until after your surgery
Had both of my knees replaced on December 12th, 2016. Knelt in church at 6 weeks, climbed up into my cab tractor at 3 weeks. Getting into kneeling position is tricky at times, but I do crawl ... on my knees... around my garden and under my farm equipment.
I've been told that orthopedic surgeons feel their surgery is a success if you have 100 - 115 degrees of flexibility. I know a couple of guys with 90 - 95 degrees I have 125 degrees of flexibility..which I attribute to my being able to put up with the early pain of rehab.. People ask me all the time regarding what to do and what to expect.. I tell them...make sure you are in good health and your immune system is in excellent shape..and revved up.. ..so you can fight off infection..and be prepared for pain during rehab.. if you have a low pain threshold and can't stand pain... then don't have your knees replaced. My after market knees are not as good as the original equipment... but they allow me to get to where I want to be and do what I want to do.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
