Question:
Four years ago i had a torn ligament in my left knee and had surgery,to repair.Dr told me i have no cartirage in both the knees and sooner or later i will need a knee replacement surgery.since i have not know any one personally who has done that,i am very scared for after effects,though my daughter is a MD(doctor) in VA.she also told me about knee replacement,but she keeps distance with me when it comes a profetional conversation,i can't ask any thing as i can talk to stranger for better help,i do not understand why?but that is the fact,so i need some one who can guide me the right and best way for me.if the best orthopedic surgeon is in Maryland, or VA, then after care will be easy because my two other kids live and work in Maryland.i will be covered by medicare in march/2008.but need to plan now.i took early retirement and right now have no health insurance except some senior coverage due to a special low income group covered every thing in jackson memorial hospital in miami.fl.
Answers:
Try Orthepedic and Sports Medicine with offices in Bowie and Annapolis. Each OS is specific to body part, e.g. wrist and hand specialist, knee specialist, ankle, etc. I worked with the hand specialist, Thomas Dennis, who has a great reputation and a 100 percent success rate (both high numbers and high pecentage). Also had orthoscopic knee with Dr. Steele. Both very well done.

I think u should read it too; this could be helpful to you
