I am very happy with the results but, honestly, there are still some rough patches. I used a walker for 3 weeks with Dr Duke's surgery, 1 day with Dr Nguyen. A cane was used about a month with Dr Duke, it was used on and off for 2 weeks with Dr Nguyen.

Wow. Again, I have no doubt Dr. Nguyen is excellent. (I will definitely consider him if I ever have to have my second knee replaced...heheh.) But with Dr. Duke, I was on a walker for one day and back on the softball field in three weeks.
