Virtual Knee Surgery

[VF21]

Now, you too can perform delicate knee surgeries just like the pros!

Seriously, you can learn quite a bit about some of these procedures we've heard so much about...and actually perform a knee replacement in the comfort of your own home.

This is crazy!
I'm more interested in how to do it arthroscopically (had two of those).

Ugh...remind me not to ever have knee surgery.


The one joint on my body I've never injured. Will have to make a point of continuing to not do so.

Actually it kind of sucked -- I wanted to get a little original with some of the power tools and it pretty much forced you to use them correctly. Where's the fun in that?

My mom had full knee replacement surgery two years ago. After seeing that, I had a whole new appreciation for how really strong my mom is.

Hey, don't look at me -- my knees are the only major joint I have not injured, and I have gone out of my way to keep it so. I actually refused to take up skiing back when I was younger and fancied myself an athlete precisely because I had seen too many friends mess up their knees on the slopes. I got kicked out my final H.S. football game for kicking a guy int eh face who I thought had dove at my knees (as it turns out he was blocked into them ). I like my knees just the way they are, thanks.

P.S. Once had a gf who was a cross country runner. About 100 yards from the finish line in one race she took a bad step into a little depression with some loose stones in it and dislocated her kneecap, tore her meniscus, and detached...soemthing (forgot its name). Mommy.
