I personally have no experience with Dr Van De Leur. But a few months ago, I was doing physical therapy at the Orthopedic Institute's local rehabilitation center for something else, not knee. Next to me was a patient of Dr Van De Leur who replaced his knee around five months ago. He said that whenever he tries to swing a golf club, his knee swells up and becomes painful. I realize that five months isn't a lot of time for this sort of thing. I personally was able to golf after three months of my operation, albeit on pain killers. Maybe someone here has more experience with golfing after a knee replacement. How long did it take?

Duke WAS NOT that great of a doctor. You got lucky. He put the wrong device in my husband who had to have Optimotion fix it.
