Art,

I had Repicci done on both knees this past year. See my post on 1-6-04 under "Bi-lateral unicompartmental...anyone else?"     Nick

Art: I had Dr. Repicci perform a partial replacement on my right knee 12/16/04 or one month ago.  So far so good. I am 57 years and I am in Chicago. Despite Repicci telling me that I don't need formal rehab I talked to my OS here and we decided it would be best to do some formal rehab.  Started last week . Basically trying to build up the quads. Also walking and swimming in a pool. Still some swelling and my nights are not good. I sleep for an hour or two and then wake up and I have to walk around for a while. I would be glad to converser with you.  Howard
