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.
