I had both my knees done this year, one in January and one in April. I had a surgeon who has come up with a way to replace the knee which doesn’t require cutting into the quad muscle, the large and important muscle on the front of the leg above the knee. This makes the recovery much quicker and the physical therapy much less painful. My physical therapist was really impressed.
Google “Jiffy knee” to see if there is someone who does it in your area.
