I was evaluated by several doctors in The Villages and was told I needed a full knee replacement. Saw a doctor in Tampa after a seminar in the Villages....and he recommended a partial.. more non evasive to the medial area of my knee. I had the operation and only did at home therapy .... and was golfing in 30 days !! That was 11 years ago. Had my other knee operated on in 2015 due to an accident....again only a partial was necessary...and again I was golfing in 30 days. The partial allows a more natural flexibility to the knee. As a supplemental note...I have had friends go to Dr. Duke...and they affirm he is well qualified to do the full replacements.
