Minimally Invasive Total Knee Replacement
I am a retired Engineer who served 27 years in the Air Force. Currently manage and own a restaurant and bar in St Petersburg, Florida. In November 2011, I had non-invasive surgery for a torn meniscus in my right knee. Shortly after the surgery, bone on bone evolved which was extremely painful and almost debilitating. I originally was scheduled for full knee replacement using traditional surgical methods. I talked with many personnel who had been through the surgery experiencing terrific pain after surgery. I was uncomfortable and decided to research a better way using minimally invasive surgical techniques. I found Dr Bennett on line and decided to attend one of his seminars. I was extremely impressed with his approach using PRP. After two injections, I was able to walk with minimal pain; however, my knee was too far gone, requiring surgery....knee replacement. Dr Bennett performed the knee surgery on July 12, 2013 using minimally invasive surgery and PRP. I was amazed when I woke from surgery that I had absolutely no pain in my knee. That afternoon I was walking with a walker and the next day was able to walk unassisted. During my physical therapy sessions that followed, my therapist was amazed at my progress indicating that my knee movement and recovery was progressing at over double the speed of normal progress. Within two weeks, I was walking normally totally unassisted. My knee continued to get stronger and I returned to normal activity within a month. As I look back, I know I made the best choice...thank you Dr Bennett.
