Knee Replacement

Patient image of: Janet Stubbs

After having a BKA amputation on my left leg due to MRSA, it was recommended I use HSS for my right knee replacement because of the extremely low infection rate. All of the physicians I saw there were caring and accommodating to my circumstances. Dr. Figgie's staff were wonderful at taking card of all the details, and the hospital staff worked diligently to get me on my feet and ready for continued therapy, Dr. Figgie is an outstanding surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He and his staff helped to keep me in the loop on everything. I have several friends who have had recent knee replacements elsewhere, and not one of them has had the post-op success that I have had with mine. Within three weeks my leg was bearing my entire weight so I could again transfer when I am without my prosthesis.
