I was in the hospital and rehab hospital for xi days and so went dwelling using a walker. Because the recovery time was so long and the pain lasted so long I was hesitant well-nigh having the other knee operated on and put it off until I had to brand a conclusion.

A friend and former patient of Dr. Likover told me about his Oxford partial knee replacement and suggested I at least get in for an evaluation. I fabricated an appointment, not expecting I would exist a candidate, but wanting to explore every option.

I was elated when he said he could do the Oxford procedure and we scheduled a date for surgery. My surgery was on Wednesday and I went home on Fri. The hurting was minimal and I progressed from using a walker to a cane immediately.

A month subsequently I drove myself to the function, went up the stairs to the entry way then went out with friends for a Mexican dinner to celebrate!

Dr Larry Likover has performed the total replacement of both of my knees. The commencement pace was to have an evaluation made of the condition of each of my knees and then to have an MRI image created of each articulatio genus so that the knee prostheses could be manufactured to match my exact, concise human knee dimensions. My first human knee replacement surgery was performed on my left knee in August 2019 when I was aged 77 and the second on my right knee almost vi months later on.

In both cases, I checked into Memorial Hermann Hospital early in the morning and by 1pm on the same day I was already home convalescing. The bodily surgery lasted merely over i hour each time and my recovery in the infirmary following surgery lasted most ane½ hours. Each fourth dimension, prior to existence discharged from the infirmary, I was escorted in a walk around on a part of the hospital flooring using my walker to ensure that the replaced knee was functioning as expected with my full weight on it.

I experienced minimal pain related to both surgeries and was using my walker for almost two to 2½ weeks after each surgery after which time I felt comfy to walk without a walker. I had some vi follow upwardly visits with Dr Likover post-obit each surgery.

I was driving my auto in nearly 12 days afterward my starting time surgery and well-nigh 15 days later my second surgery after I stopped taking the pain killers that I had been given to alleviate the pain. Following each articulatio genus replacement, I underwent an Ten ray imaging of the replaced knee to make certain that there were no apparent problems with the knee following surgery.

For each human knee, I felt that I had made a skillful recovery after about 12 weeks following surgery. I received excellent physiotherapy treatment from the physiotherapists at the Fe Man Sport Medicine Institute at Memorial City. I institute daily exercising to be essential for a speedy and effective recovery. I am however exercising both of my knees each twenty-four hour period.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Likover for knee joint replacement surgery. I am extremely pleased with his expertise, competence and experience and the subsequent outcome of both of knees. During my 12 or and then visits with him over the course of ii knee replacements, I found him to exist very attentive, professional person, forthright, cheerful and fix to answer my many questions.

I also accept no hesitation in recommending Memorial Hermann Hospital every bit the hospital where the surgery is to be performed, nor Iron Man Sport Medicine Plant for receiving physiotherapy services post-obit knee replacement or other surgery.

Give thanks y'all Dr Likover for two slap-up and successful surgeries.

S.P. – Houston, Texas

On July 28, 2008, Dr. Larry Likover replaced my left articulatio genus with an "Otis" Custom Fit Knee. At the aforementioned time, he removed two (2) screws that he had put in during a 1980's correct knee surgery for an ACL replacement. Then, three (3) months afterward on October 28, 2008, he replaced my correct knee with an "Otis" Custom Fit articulatio genus.

Before both human knee replacements, my prior surgery history with Dr. Likover consisted of the following operations:

Rights human knee ACL replacement
Three (3) left knee cartilage removal surgeries over a 12 twelvemonth catamenia.
Left shoulder bone spur removal.
Left human foot neroma surgery.
Lumbar Back surgery on L2, L3 and L4 for spinal stenosis.

Near of my orthopedic issues stemmed from playing lots of basketball game my entire life and running approximately 20-30 miles per calendar week for 30 years starting around 1970 (age 24).

By the year 2000, Dr. Likover had performed the four (iv) knee surgeries mentioned higher up and both of my knees were basically os on bone (little or no cartilage left). I finally had to stop running and playing basketball due to the hurting in both knees.

Finally in 2008, Dr. Likover convinced me to consider the "Otis" Custom Fit Knee for my problems. I had go very "knock-kneed" and walking whatever altitude was getting very painful.

I and then made an appointment for a second opinion with Dr. David Lintner (Houston Texans' team md) and he agreed that I definitely needed knee replacement surgery for both my knees. I then gave the thumbs up to Dr. Likover and the necessary MRI's and surgeries were scheduled and carried out.

Eight (8) months later for my left human knee and five (five) months subsequently for my right knee, I am now pain free, straight-legged and able to practise vigorously for ane and a half hours, 4-6 times per week.

Even though Dr. Likover recommended that I not run anymore, I decided recently to test my knees to meet if I could run. I plant out, if I had to, I could now run. Hooray for a 62 year old!

I enthusiastically endorse the "Otis" Custom Fit Genu and would exist glad to answer any questions regarding my experiences with this device. If Dr. Likover thinks I could help anyone considering this surgery, please ask him for my phone number or e-mail to come across my x-rays.

Hip Replacement Patients

R.H.

This is my story about my hip replacement operation.

For nearly 4 years I experienced pain in my groin area that I idea was a repetitive injury to my hip flexors from heavy lifting. From near September 2010 until November 2011 the pain increased and my flexibility decreased to the indicate I had to stop performing several lifting exercises (squat, sumo deadlift, ability clean).

I decided to have Dr. Likover exam my hip and hopefully give me a shot to reduce the inflammation. He showed me the 10-ray and pointed out that the cartilage was absent-minded in my left hip. I decided on the spot to schedule the replacement surgery.

We had much talk and e-mails over the best material to use. I asked for a Magnum metal on metallic joint to allow me to railroad train and lift once again. His surgery went as perfect every bit planned.

The first 10 days were very painful and uncomfortable, but I did the suggested physical therapy 2-iii times per mean solar day. I started to incorporate costless standing squats with a bar betwixt 2 and 3 weeks from the operation.

I used crutches to get to the safety power rack to squat and then squat downwards to a small demote. This was one key to my recovery because my hips, legs, and back were being worked like I was standing up from a sitting position in a chair.

I also transitioned from a wheel to an elliptical machine for conditioning purposes within 4 weeks. I felt this was the second central because I did not concur onto the side rails and forced my core to concur me upward and put a load on my legs. The move of the machine made the hip joint move along with forcing claret flow into my leg muscles.

I stretched after every workout and that progress was ho-hum but steady for a yr. I did my beginning deadlift from the floor exactly five weeks to the day of the performance. The extra weight that I picked up provided gravity loading and hopefully, mineralization around my new metallic shaft.

The last key was my use of massage therapy to break downwardly scar tissue in my leg.

My procedure took place November 29, 2006 and I was able to travel to Chicago for the Christmas holidays. After 3 months I am pain costless and able to chase after my ii year old and 4 year old grandsons.

I would not have idea I would ever await forward to surgery, but I anticipate the aforementioned great results when I take my left knee done. Thank you to Dr. Likover, I am a much younger 65 now.
