Bilateral Knee Replacement Recovery
At a very young age Betsy decided to have both knees replaced at once. She selected the Conformis Knee and Drs. Lederman and Kwartowitz. And she went out of her way to include the X10 in her recovery. She is very glad that she did as she achieved excellent range of motion quickly after her surgery. Two months later Betsy has both of these new knees on the tennis court again!

Declining Mobility over the Past Five Years
Betsy is 52. She has had problems with her knees all her life… including pain as a kid. It was over the past five years that things really got worse. Braces on the knees, pain medication – just to play tennis. That was enough for Betsy and she decided to have bilateral knee surgery. In a recent RECOVERY MATTERS BLOG post Betsy had a lot to say about deciding to do two knees. She emphasizes being physically and mentally prepared for a double. You can watch that here.
“When I get off the machine my knee feels lighter. It feels more mobile, more flexible.”
Lederman and Kwartowitz

Bilateral Knee Surgery
The doctors had planned on doing both knees at once but had to collaborate on each knee because, as Dr. Lederman said, Betsy’s knees “were in the top five of the worst knees ever that he has done.” Betsy had the X10 brought in to a skilled nursing facility where she worked out on the X10™ at least once a day. The limited physical therapy both in a skilled nursing facility and in an outpatient setting was one of the big reasons Betsy likes the X10. She was able to get a lot more therapy in because she had an X10 in the skilled nursing facility and then in her home.

X10 Results for Betsy
“I want every chance I can to get better. [The X10] is my physical therapist when the physical therapists are not there”
Three and a half weeks post surgery Betsy’s ACTIVE (she can do this on her own) range of motion results were:

110º on her right knee
On the X10™ Betsy can get to 125º PASSIVE range of motion on both knees.
Just as a reference point – the national average after 6 weeks is 83º. After 6 months: 108º. To view the data click here.
