I am very happy for you that your knee turned out great, and that Duke worked out for you. Sounds like you did a lot of pre-work in advance, which I know is good. However, I have 2 friends that had Dr. Duke and they had a lot of pain after the surgery and a long and tough recovery. One of them still has a completely numb knee a year later. I have heard a lot of people say recovery is much faster when surgery is done on the side of the knee, not cutting tendons. Thanks for your input.
