I was lucky and had a great recovery, but I have seen lots of cases where my clients weren’t as lucky as I was and had permanent restrictions and limitations that affected their ability to work and function normally. A number of our Tennessee personal injury clients have had knee replacement surgery that has allowed them much more normal (but not normal) mobility.

One of the limitations of knee replacements is that some activities, like climbing stairs, can still be very difficult (also difficult for some Tennessee motorcycle clients- riding a motorcycle). Their are two basic designs for artificial knees, the “fixed bearing” design and the “rotating platform” design.

A recent FDA study seems to show that the “rotating platform” design may provide an artificial knee that is better at things like climbing stairs. Ask your doctor about your choices if you have a Tennessee personal injury that involves the knee and the possibility of knee replacement.
