KNEE SURGERY: This is not easy as the exact pathology is not know,. Assuming its bad arthritis - before surgery have you considered Stem Cell /PRP injection as an option. Regennexx in Denver Colorado has done great work on this. Secondly the fist person you saw may have offered you the product that is allowed by the hospital. Yes hospitals do dictate product not based on quality but on price.
