I am not sure if you realize how absurd your position is.

There are some 6Billion in the world. And I NEVER said others should not and if they want to take the chance, they should go for it.

It isn't 50/50 for Total Knee Replacement.....never has been or they wouldn't be done!!!

The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of joint replacement recipients are VERY HAPPY with their choice....that is a FACT borne out by numerous studies....not from anonymous message boards where you hang out along with the minority of patients who are NOT happy....

Guess what? Happy people don't hang out on message boards because they have NOTHING to complain about...

You are making RIDICULOUS UNFOUNDED pronouncements based on a self selected sample of unhappy customers....

You keep praising an unproven medical procedure with NO track record of success (PRP stem cells) over a PROVEN procedure that has been done since the early 70's by the way not 80's


Here is the only true statement you have made on this subject....

That person lives with a botched replacement surgery. If things were otherwise, that person would not be talking as that person is.

Exactly what I and others have been telling you for years on this forum but it never seems to sink even though YOU JUST ADMITTED IT TO BE TRUE

Your hip replacement wasn't "botched"....you had known complications of the procedure which a MINORITY of patients experience...

You have then extrapolated YOUR unfavorable result to mean ALL results ( or at least 50%) are doomed to failure which is clearly NONSENSE

But you have even admitted....if you didn't have the result you did, you wouldn't be here complaining about it...


You seem to love anecdotal evidence...


A number of people have commented on this thread who have been through total knee replacement....ALL of them are happy they did....none have complained about complications...

How can that be if its 50/50????????????????? ummmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm not lying, but have opinions and experiences. You are one who does these surgeries so you have said, I believe, so wonder why you think they are just great.

Yes, I have anecdotal evidence, that's a lot of life... Plenty of us do steer clear of the drug and surgery worlds. I haven't met anyone YET who loves to jump up on an operating table. I guess you meet them all the time in your profession.

And everyone on this forum has their opinions.
