I’ve had both knees done 10+ years ago with Stryker Mako partial replacements and I highly recommend at least talking to a surgeon that does Makoplasty robotic-assisted surgery. I see Dr. Derrick Farr at Twin Palms Orthopedics in Ocala. A person is a candidate if they have 1 or 2 knee compartment issues any more, they do a full knee.

I still have about 80% of the bone in my knees as well as all the ligaments giving me a more natural fee keep all the flexibility and range of motion I had before surgery. They also did my 2nd knee without full anesthesia. I was given proposal and a spinal block…
