William Stanfield, MD, Is First Cleveland-area Orthopedic Surgeon to Perform OtisKnee Custom Fit Knee Re...(her OtisKnee surgery Patricia was riding...)

Date:8/11/2009

her OtisKnee surgery, Patricia was riding a stationery bike. She began a course of physical therapy the day after her surgery and progressed very quickly. "I had surgery on the 1st and drove on the 17th," she recalls. "In my second week of physical therapy, I could already bend my leg at 94 degrees. I couldn't do that with my traditional knee replacement for almost two months," she says.

"When I got my post-op x-rays, the tech remarked, '"What a perfect fit! Look at the nice alignment you've got," Patricia recalls. After her OtisKnee surgery, Patricia was scheduled for an eight- to 10-week physical therapy course. But with her rapid progress, she needed only six weeks of therapy. "My physical therapist said I was doing so well that I could do the exercises at home," she says.

"With my traditional knee replacement, it took a good six months before I could say I was pain-free and could walk well. Right now, I'm two months post-op from OtisKnee and I've never had any pain in my knee," says Patricia. "I walk, go to the mall, to the grocery store. I can push a lawn mower, go up and down the stairs -- I do it all!"

"People can't get over my progress," says Patricia. "Someone asked me, 'How long ago did you have your surgery?' and when I said, 'Two months,' they were amazed. They said, 'I thought you maybe had surgery nine months ago because you're walking so well. You don't even walk with a limp.' I said, 'You're not supposed to limp. If everything is working right and you're doing the right things, you shouldn't have a limp.' I'm very pleased!"
