Doug's TTT, LPFLr and possible MPFLr 12-12-11

Thanks....did he put in 2 or 3 screws...how long was your scar?

[Fathead D]

He wanted to put in 3 screws but there was only enough room for 2.  My scar is a good 6 or 7 inches long.  Its that long because I had to have a lateral release repair along with the TTT.

3 months 2 days post op.

I am still doing great.  I am doing 30 minutes on the eliptical without any pain and the strength is slowly coming back.  I am so glad I decided to do this and can't wait to get the other knee fixed. 

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Doug,

Good job...keep up the good work.

I had my last follow-up this week and I am now fully cleared to do whatever I want.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

It appears you made a good decision in choosing your doctor!

Nice work Doug - that clearance must be a good feeling! 

[krunzer]

Good job Doug!  I am glad that things worked out for you.  I am still working hard with my PT and am hoping by fall I will be clear to start snowmobiling again!  Take care!

I guess I should give an update.  I am about 7 months post op and doing well.  I am able to do anything I want with the only exeption being kneeling on my screws.  That doesn't feel so good.  I am doing 4 spin classes a week and my legs feel great.  My right hip is all sorts of screwed up and hurts now and again but overall I am doing well.

Hope everyone else is feeling good and enjoying the summer.
