Yes, I had that, and I would say I never got above an 8 in pain, and even that was pretty brief. Second night was the roughest, that’s always the case IME.



Is that the one with the curved incision on the side? (Perhaps the medial side? duh) If so, I have heard good things, but last week I heard about a guy that was healing so rapidly that they overworked him in PT and it backfired a little bit. ie, he wasn’t as ready as he appeared, a few weeks ahead of “normal” schedule. Anyway, a data point.
I think the curved incision on the medial side relates to the surgical approach not the architecture of the implant. In this case sub vastus or perhaps vastus.
