After
Before I'm not saying who these knees belonged to, but the knees in the bottom picture are before surgery. The "subject" is standing upright with knees as close together as possible. The subject found it very painful to walk, and oddly enough even more painful to stand. Subject would no longer wear skirts or shorts out of embarrassment. Orthopedist said he could fix the knee and straighten the leg, and he did. A few days in the hospital, 1 week PT at home, and then drove to 6 more weeks of welcomed physical therapy, and no pain to date. Knees may not be things of beauty, but they allow subject to ride a stationary bike and walk several miles, pain free. Want the name of a really good orthopedist?
