Hi, Has anyone had a half knee replacement recently?

I think its now time for me to get one done later this year and because I'm self employed need to get back to work quickly.

I would like to know how long it takes to get back driving, if anyone can help?

Also does anyone know if they will do two knees at the same time? I know that would probably be quite painful but it would get it all over at once.

Thanks everyone.

    Hi Steve

    If you use the Search button at the top of the page inbetween Members and FAQ and type in partial knee replacement there are 5 pages of past postings on the subject. Perhaps this may be of help.
