Cool video. I have had this exact surgery done 2 weeks ago. Not allowed to put any weight on it for 6 weeks in total. Revalidation is tough, being so disabled. Pain is controlable with painkillers. Plate is supposed to stay in unless it causes trouble.
Im terrified ill have to get this eventually, i can tolerate pain but ive heard some people say it was the worst theyve ever experienced

Well, it depends. They told me that it would be bad but with the right medication it is very ok to handle. I have defenitely had worse pain. Dont let them scare you too much. Try to look at the end result, which for me is maybe, being able to keep my own knee. That is more important to me.
I hope this helps you a bit. Dont hesitate to ask me more.
Have a nice day.
@@CirclingtheFringes can i ask how old are you and what your activity level is? Ive heard recovery is much easier the younger the patient.

I am a 47 year old male. I always have been very active in sports, like running, kickboxing, mountainbiking. Especially the running has caused some wear and tear in the softer part, dont know the English word, in Dutch its "kraakbeen", but i doubt the English word is " crackbone"🤔.
This surgery was severe, but not as bad as getting 1 or 2 new knees. Surgeon promised me that i could abuse my knees as much as i did before. That wont happen because i am getting older, but i am very hopefull.
Ah, its cartilage😁
Great video. 👍

How long does the plate stay in the leg?
I have had this exact same procedure done 2 weeks ago. The plate will stay in unless it causes problems. Given the trouble of revalidation, i hope they dont have to go back in again for this plate. But i am a 47 year old male, and i do want to have some good years of sports. Maybe not combat sports anymore, but i hope to run without pain, or go mountainbiking. We'll see. If it causes trouble, theres no other option.
I do have serious doubts about doing the other leg though😮
