My Meniscal Transplant and Dr. Cole
… I was so frustrated that I decided I wanted a knee replacement. My surgeon told me that at 31 years old he couldn??t recommend a replacement. He had read about meniscal transplants and osteochondral allografts and he thought that might be a solution for me. He referred me to Dr. Cole.
Going to Dr. Cole was the best decision I could have made. The process was difficult. The travel, surgeries, recovery and rehab were extremely challenging. But the results have been more than I ever expected. I am one year post-op and my knee feels better than it??s felt since I was 19 years old. I am able to work out at a high level including jumping, squatting, and lateral movement ?? all which were impossible before surgery. But the most significant change has been the improvement that has come to my daily life. I??ll be doing things like pushing a shopping cart, walking up stairs, getting in or out of cars and realize, ??THIS DOESN??T HURT!??
