Possibly. We have performed this procedure for patients of that age. Below is our guidance from our "Saving My Knees Guide" which you may download here www.stoneclinic.com/saving-my-knees "BioKnee procedures such as cartilage replacements can often be performed as long as there is space available, meaning that the joint is not completely bone-on-bone. Patients who are candidates for a BioKnee often have symptoms associated with pain isolated primarily to one side of the joint and do not have underlying inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis which differs from injury-caused post-traumatic or osteoarthritis. Ideally, their range of motion is not too severely limited and their legs are not too badly bowed inside or curved outside (i.e. less than 10 degrees of angulation)."

@@stoneclinic thanks for the information. It's so unfortunate that getting into see a physician and then a specialist is ridiculously long. It was on the order of 3 months here in Southern Washington. I'll just hobble around for the next few years until I figure something out.

Head to this webpage to find out all about robotic knee replacement program www.stoneclinic.com/knee-replacement. Basically, the difference is that bone cement can loosen. The implant used by Dr. Stone actually fuses directly to the bone which drastically reduces the chances of ever coming loose. This means patients can return to impact sports like running and not worry about the knee replacement failing.

Mild OA. However, the OA was causing Gary pain and swelling on every run.

Sure there are. Dr. Stone tries to preserve all healthy knee anatomy and only performs total knee replacements when the knee is completely arthritic in all 4 compartments of the knee. So he performs more partial knee replacements than totals. Here is a story from a runner in his 70s who is still participating in marathons and runs 30+ miles per week www.stoneclinic.com/story/marathon-running-his-seventies-total-knee-replacements

We last heard from Scott in 2022 with this message "The partial knee replacement that Dr. Stone did is still "perfect": asymptomatic, strong, full flexibility, and in no way inhibits my continuing my "super active" lifestyle of participating at a national and world-class level in triathlons and duathlons...and all of the other sports I love. " You can see all his full story including his updates here www.stoneclinic.com/story/triathlete-returns-podium-after-partial-knee-replacement

That's wonderful news! Best of the luck with the rest of your recovery and enjoy yourself once you back on the court.

Glad Laurie's story could provide some inspiration. We wish you the best of luck with your procedures and recovery. Please keep in mind that Laurie's recovery results are specific to a patient who has had their knee replaced by Dr. Stone using the Stryker MAKO Robotic-Assisted surgical robot and undergoing our StoneFit physical therapy program. Different knee replacement implants or manually performed knee replacements may not permit impact sports or intense physical activity. Be sure to discuss your goals for surgery prior to your procedure and be sure to clear any return to sports with your orthopaedist/physical therapist before starting your first run. Thanks for the comment and we hope you get back to cycling and running soon!
