John’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
I had bowed legs, and the cartilage on the inside was completely worn out. It was painful to walk or run. 

What was the turning point for you?
The turning point for me to move forward with surgery was when I could no longer run. 

What is life like now?
I had knee replacement surgery more than five years ago, and I now run two miles about four times a week. I lift weights with no problem, and I play sports, like basketball, with no knee pain. 

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
I suggest prospective patients research the ATTUNE® Knee to learn about the precision that is used to ensure a correct fit of the prosthesis.
