Meniscal Allograft - Testimonials and Progress Chart

 

Voices of Experience

Listen to these “experts" about their successful experiences with The Florida Knee & Orthopedic Centers.


Gary Lancos - Meniscal Transplant
Hear Gary's Testimonial

“I came to The Florida Knee and Orthopedic Center looking for another option to the total knee replacement.

Before the surgery, walking was not a problem. It was the activities such as running and jumping that caused pain. I had the medial side replaced first. It rehabbed nicely over about a 2 month period. Then I got the lateral side done to get this knee back to 100%.

My hope with this operation is to eliminate the pain and swelling and get back to a normal lifestyle."

“If we went out dancing, I couldn,t do any dancing at all before the surgery. I,d be in pain for 2-3 days and taking anti-inflammatories.“Now that I've had the allograft I,m able to do anything I want to do. I can walk any distance. I can go to Disney World and walk the whole park. I can golf, I can ride my bike, go dancing.

I'm amazed at it really, I really am."
