A relative who is in his 80's had both hips and knees replaced successfully and still maintain 200 sheep and collect about 1000 bales of hay every year. In the winter he alpine ski race on the masters circuit. Not bad for a 'bionic' man. I suggest you find another therapist unless the knee weren't replaced properly.

My son had a snow boarding accident last year at Gunstock. Was taken to LRGH by ambulance. He shattered his wrist and dislocated his elbow. They did surgery that night, resetting his elbow and putting pins in his wrist. Once surgery was complete and everything wrapped up, they took an xray of his wrist and that looked good but never took anther xray of his elbow. After getting back to Nashua and making an appt with a local Ortho Dr, when they took the wrap off a week later, they discovered the elbow had popped back out. They put him out again that same day and popped it back into place. After months of PT, he could not fully extend his arm. He just recently had surgery again to do releases and is now back in PT and has almost full extension of his arm. The surgeon here said because a week had passed with his elbow still dislocated and in the position the put his arm in was the reason his arm was messed up.
