"I now run 2 miles 4 times a week!"

John's Story

Surgeon Name: Dr. Wayne Goldstein​

Hospital Name: Lutheran General Hospital 

What was life like before joint replacement?​

Before knee replacement I had very bowed legs and the cartilage on the inside was completely worn out. It was painful to walk or run. ​

What was the turning point for you (the moment you knew you needed to move ahead with surgery)?​

The turning point for me to move forward with surgery was when I could no longer run. ​

What is life like now? How has joint replacement changed your life?​

I had knee replacement five and a half years ago, and I now run two miles about four times per week, I lift weights no problem, and I play sports like basketball without knee pain. ​

What information do you have that would help others considering joint replacement?​

I would suggest prospective patients research the ATTUNE^® Knee to see the precision that is used to ensure a correct fit of the prosthesis.
