Knee Replacement

Leopoldo Goldemberg

On March 9th, 1992 you performed a surgery that implied a total replacement of my right knee.

I cannot find the words to thank you for how well I feel after 27 years of that operation. Though I'm truly close to 90 years old, I continue to play tennis 3 times a week and am the envy of my friends at the Lawn Tennis Club in Montevideo (Uruguay), thanks to how well I am physically. I enclose a couple of recent photographs to prove it!

I wish to thank you and your team at the hospital once again for an excellent job and for how well I felt treated at the time. My lifestyle never changed, in spite of the delicate operation I went through.

Please receive my sincerest appreciation, Leopoldo Goldemberg
