Any knowledge about the Zimmer knee would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing.

Anytime Knee replacement comes up, first Doctor that is mentioned is Dr Duke. My honey had replacement two years ago with Dr Duke, and very happy. Matter of fact, she is having her other knee replaced (by Dr Duke) in June. Theres a picture from the news in his office, of either doing his 3000nth knee, or 6000nth knee. (couldnt remember which it was) Regardless, thats a lot of Knees. Seems like here in The Villages, people have "Kneeitis"!!!!!! Played golf with with guys who had it done by Dr Duke. I think you are making a good choice. Of course, there will always be some, who think different. All in all, he has a great reputation. Good Luck!!
