A member asked:
How do i know that my doctor has chosen the knee replacement of a manufacturer with the fewest problems, i.e. fsilure, infection, etc. do i have any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee arthroplasty: Your orthopedic surgeon should be very open to your valid concerns. She or he should be willing to tell you which manufacturer they prefer and why. Then you can do your own research to "validate" what was stated in your patient encounter. I would hope that they prefer placing hardware that has the best outcome for you.
