M F's Story

Comments: I am 75 years old and recently had a knee replacement done by Dr. Rajaee from Cedars-Sinai.

I fractured my upper tibia plateau in 12 places, the surgeon that put the puzzle back together advised me to run it as long as I could put up with the pain.

Doctor told me if I crashed again, they wouldn't have much to work with. That was based on technology 24 years ago. I got with Dr. Rajaee recently and had the plates and screws removed.

They had me wait 2 months for the bones to heal, making sure there was no infection. Then he replaced my knee with new technology, I woke up from surgery, got out bed and walked to the restroom, no pain, went home the following day, walked up 20 steps to my bedroom and thought this is great!
I was prescribed Pecocet for pain management. I didn't take any pain medication and have not taken any going forward as there had been no pain. I did my prescribed exercises and I'm very happy with the results along with Dr. Rajaee and all of his team involved.

It feels good to be able to stand on this leg by itself and deal with terrain that I previously had difficulty maneuvering through.

Glad I waited for better technology. Thanks doc and all of your crew - Mark
