Thanks for making this vid Tom,ive been looking for a "real" outcome/recovery made by an individual and not sponsored by a clinic of some description, gives me hope that mine may be ok, having it done 19th Dec,i may do my own vid for others to see too, just hope mine goes well.Thanks again Tom and hope it continues to be a great recovery, cheers and best wishes,Trey.
Thanks for your comment, Trey. It's now been more than 8 months, and I'm still completely satisfied with my new knee. Best wishes for you with your knee replacement!
Hi River Savage! Thanks for watching. A year and a half later I had complications from the surgery. The resurfacing of my kneecap weakened the bone which has now fractured. Though the original surgery was excellently performed, now that there is a problem the surgeon has no interest in helping me restore the function of my leg. So, I can't recommend that surgeon to a strength athlete. Joint replacement specialists seem to have an irrational bias against strength training on their devices. You and I know lifting is relatively nonrepetitive and totally without impact on the joints. Barbell back squats are gentle on the knees. The best thing we can do for the longevity of the artificial joint is to keep the surrounding muscles and bones strong. We both need to find orthopedic surgeons who understand this, are encouraging of powerlifting, and want their patients to grow stronger as they age. Good luck to us both!
Thank you so much for the reply! I am bone on bone on my left knee. Your video gave me some hope. Now I am not sure. I am going to do what you said and find a surgeon who does athletes. I looked at place called The Stone Clinic. Check it out and let me know what you think. I am 6’1 260 and have been doing a lot of recombant bike, just to keep my legs from getting totally atrophied. Lot of hamstrings as well.
@@riversavage5608 Yes, I did. If you do social media, look me up on Facebook where my returns to competitive powerlifting and inline speed skating are well chronicled. I lifted in a USAPL meet 11 months post TKR and painlessly added 44lbs to my squat (424 lbs).

Thank you! I am a real lifter as well. Both power lifting and bodybuilding. My left knee is bone on bone. Who did your surgery?

Your attitude was great during your post surgery. I liked that. Did you go back to lifting heavy after the replacement?
