My knees were cut with a robotic machine. They don't use saws and chisels like the old day. It's more like jigs and bone saws, LOL. The nerve blocks I received, one went into the hamstring. The needle is roughly 5-6 inches long and they pretty much fish for the nerve while you are awake. They give you fentanyl to not make it too uncomfortable, but I thought it was very uncomfortable on my first TKR. They want you to relax and not tense up while they do it.

It's still a saw for bone and not all surgeons have robotic stuff. Probably most do but at Mcbride I don't think they do.

That's where I had both mine done.

When was that? Dad had both shoulders and a knee replaced (not all at once) there and they didn't say anything about robotics but that was like 10 years ago or so.

Right knee was done in February. Left knee was done in June. Dr Lowe is my Dr. He's going to retire in December after 45 years! Awesome Dr!!!

Dr Saxton at McBride did not use robotics in Nov 2019 or March 2020. Dr Ponder at St Anthony did in Nov 21 and Oct 22. and under full anesthesia all 4 times.

Mr joint Dr Is David Holden at Mcbride. He operated on my ACL in 1990 and again on a different injury 3 years ago. I can't recommend him enough

It is very possible. I opened my studio in 1992 and started traveling and teaching on the road around 93 into 95. I taught at various in Kansas, Missouri and North & West Texas all while running my studio here in OKC.

It's been a great ride and so far, it is still moving forward. lol!

Well if it was you that taught the class, IIRC you were a great instructor that I learned several line-dances from. I remember the final test being a class outing to a popular local club (Cowboys in Hutchinson, KS) on a Friday night to practice and demonstrate what we had learned during the classes. Great times!

I'm not sure why but my knees are both aching real bad right now.
