In August 2018 I received a total knee prosthesis, robot assisted by doctor Philip Winnock de Grave.
To my great surprise I was able
to walk without crutches after a few days. The surgeon advised me to use the crutches preventively for a few more weeks. I have not had
to take painkillers.
The rehabilitation went very smoothly: after a few days I could bend my knee 90 ° and after 4 weeks I drove my
bike. 6 weeks physiotherapy was more than enough. Walking was fun again. If I was overactive during this period I still got some minor
knee pain during the night. Getting up and walking around the bed was enough to continue sleeping.
I can now do everything that I
used to do: cycling, walking, gardening, painting and wallpapering. I have the joy of life again as before.
I am very grateful to Dr.
Philip Winnock de Grave for this procedure. His progressive method of working has certainly helped with this. When problems with my left
knee, I will definitely come back.
