Hi Anthony! Can I possibly ask audience how long they have had their implants, how old were they when they had theirs and what type they have had cement-less or cemented? Im really curious to hear their stories of how long they lasted before they needed a revision surgery. Thanks!
I had both knees done last year (2023). 2 different surgeons and 2 different knees. One knee was the Stryker Triathlon and the other was Attune Depuy Synthes. The Stryker was cement-less and the Depuy was cemented. The Stryker is problem free. The Depuy, after 5 months of being problem free, I started having reduced range of motion, pain and stiffness. I may have injured it somehow. I tried to schedule with that surgeon, to check into it, but they no longer take my insurance lol I have lower back issues on that side (L4 nerve root is compressed) between L3-L4 and wonder if the nerve damage is affecting my knee. I am going to make an appointment with a physiatrist to check it out. It is still better than walking with pain.
Great content! Now I understand joint failure. It thought it was all about the plastic linear wearing but, bone attachment and maybe bone density also are factors. Very interesting!
Awesome video, first dialogue I've found on press fit vs cemented. I had my TKR's last year (March & May) with cementless(press fit), my surgeon recommended cementless but the discussion was over the fact that I was 58 and cemented only lasts 20-25ish years and the whole thing, would have to be redone when the time comes, metal and spacer, so another month or 2 recovery, whereas press fit, only the worn out spacer will have to be replaced and he's had patients back to full activity after that redo in a couple weeks. That was the reason I chose press fit, it wasn't because of impact (I have a desk job and do no high impact) but it is good to know that I might could do a bit of a fast walk, almost a jog if I wanted to. So I'm 11 months post op and outside of stiffness upon getting up(probably due to my RA and osteopenia contributing factors) and some Zingers (as Russ says) I believe I'm in that 98% Dr. Abott spoke about. The thought of cement breaking down and wearing out and having to go through it all again in my 80's scared the beegeebees out of me. But if I was in my 70 or 80's I would have got them cemented in for sure because I've heard from several folks who have been through it and they seem to heal quicker. Just my 2 cents.
@@totaltherapysolutions Got postponed, I have the Rona. Tested positive, I'm fine and the worst of it was cold like symptoms. Surgery is postpone until March
Had mine 2006, age 55. Kneecap had to be replaced in april 2019. Rest of replacement was fine. July 2019 had a routine colonoscopy and endoscopy. August 2019 got a streptococcus bovis infection in knee. Whole knee was taken out and & a cement spacer put in. All because i wasn't given antibiotics prior to colonoscopy! Had spacer for year & finally had a new knee replacement put in Aug. 2020. Lot of bone loss so my wonderful surgeon had to piece me together. Been in therapy for almost 5 months & am coming along well. Please ask about antibiotics for any procedure if you have a joint replacement! It can save you a whole lot of trouble.
Im so sorry you had to go thru this and caring enough to share your experience. I was told when i had my replacement that i will need antibiotics for dental procedures. I will be more cautious now. Im glad you are starting to feel better. I am almost 8 weeks post surgery. Cant wait until i walk normal again. 😔
My doctor told me pretty much what Blinks77 was told. Everytime I go to the dentist - even for routine cleaning - I take four amoxicillin. I'll probably have to do this for the rest of my life. Thank you for sharing your story Pamela. It lets me know of the potential consequences of not taking the antibiotics.
Hi Anthony, I had my cementless, robotic-assisted surgery three months ago and consider it quite successful. I would advise anyone considering the procedure to follow your RUclips channel. From the exercises to the explanations, your videos have helped me recover much quicker than I would have. Thanks so much for this video and for all the others.
i have 2 Stryker Marathon tkr and i am so glad i got those with biological fixation. I am in Canada and where i live if you go public (free tkr) you dont get a choice and it is cemented. I went private for 52 000$ for my 2 knees and i got the cement-less implants. Here in the public health system no one explains anything. I am 49 and i think with my age and good shape, those implants were well worth the financial sacrifice and the private hospital took time to explain the best choice
Could you do some videos on rehab for PARTIAL knee replacement surgery? It’s becoming more common but there’s not a lot of physical therapy videos available
Fortunately for me...I have never really ran...I am active in the Gym..I plan to add two machine exercises based on your Professional Guidance...May I do a Treadmill at a slow speed and Machine Squats with Light Weight?...I have an unilateral Full Knee Replacement...Thanks in advance
I am 62 year old male. Im a bowler who bowls 2 to 3 times a week. Retired, 148 lbs. My left knee is bone on bone, dosent hurt walking, but bowling it hurts sharp pain so cant bend knee. Question 1: Is bendind knee and holding in a bent position possible while releasing a bowling ball? I was a 230 down to a 210.....to a 200 this year avg now as my leg is straight now upon release. Question 2: I have osteoporosis due to medicial condition and taking steriods for over a 25 year period. So im thinking cemented TKR may be best option as my bones maybe thin and somewhat brittle. Going to start taking a pill to build bone back up. Plus or minuses with building bone with a pill? I also only have about 5 to 10 years to bowl as i have a lung condition that will progressively get worse and therefore most likley cant bowl down the road. So i want to do this now while my lungs still allow me to do so. Thanks for responses to these questions, i just want a good quality of life while being able to do (Bowling) what i like and enjoy. Thankyou all and have a great day!

Absolutely, great question. Would you like to see that here or in the Facebook group?
@@totaltherapysolutions here please if possible because i don’t have facebook. I could try to learn how to use facebook but it seems intruding.

Excellent video. I'm having a cementless TKR this week, thanks.
Keep me posted. I would love to hear about your progress.

Conformis iTotal cementless knee replacement is the best on the market.
that feeling when knee surgery is tommorow:
