You mean they have to find a replacement knee cap from another person? I thought they made artificial ones, the same way they make new hip joints (for example) out of plastic, titanium,
Maybe, what might be the best option is to go with the low-invasion pain relief procedures and physical therapy
Just remember that even though someone's a doctor and they're wearing the white coat, they could have passed med school with a C-. It's always worth it to do some research and maybe even travel to find some quality medical professionals.

RE: my knee darnit
you know giving you such a long tiem to decide is probably a bad thing..... cause the way i see things, the most important and life altering decisions are split second decisions... when your not looking at all the options and all the outcomes and the only thing you see is where you will be with that one thing that first pops into your head.
