Hi

Welcome to Knee Talk.  Unfortunately, this is not a very large group and you might not meet others that have had this type of surgery.  I hope you do, but just wanted to welcome you and let you know this is still a small discussion group.

If you do move forward with this type of surgery, I hope you will write a story and I will post it on the main part of the website.

Good Luck.

Pat

Hi Pat,
Thanks!  I will definitely keep you posted.
How large is "not very large?"  Just curious the number of folks on this site?

Go to the home page of Knee Talk and scroll down the page to Forum Stats - 60 members.  My hip resurfacing Hip Talk Group has 2005 members.  The knee group has been very slow to grow.  I wish we had 2000 members here.  It would be a very active discussion.
