Total Replacement Knee Surgery on Cadaver

[gogglesbyrne]

I had this done on my two knees I'm glad that was knocked out..

I've had both knees and both hips replaced and now 15 years later I'm having my left knee prosthetic replaced....they only last 10 - 15 years. I shouldn't be watching this video because I'm gagging. And, believe me or not I've had my knees replaced while I was awake. I remember ALL of those aweful sounds. I really shouldn't be watching this...I'm heaving ugh. I'm a succer for punishment! Now, when I have my knee replaced somtime this year I'll be thinking of this video, and the cadaver! OMG

so partial replacement via Makoplasty might be helpful in avoiding the full knee replacement.

I wonder what the cadaver's family got out of this.

Nice posting, I really appreciated it. The doctor's name that performed the demonstration was hard to hear, but it sounded like Dr. Collison? To continue, I am a 33 y/o male with grade 4 degeneration of the lateral compartment of my left knee and I was wondering if he could be reached to provide advice. My current ortho doctor says I have to have a knee replacement, but refuses to perform the surgery and has instead prescribed narcotics for pain relief since we can do nothing to the swelling.

@ridingwolf31 I can think of a couple of reasons why he might not want to replace your knee. 1:Your age, they like to postpone it as long as possible. 2: They postpone surgery until it becomes unbearable for you. I've had my knees & hips replaced at a young age because of severe rheumatoid arthritis,I was extremly ill and I was hospitalized many times. My pain was extremely severe and the damage was excessive I had no choice. My suggestion postpone it as long as possible. :O(

Recently watched a TKR in Wales. This video has helped explain it in more detail and is easier to see what is going on.
