How likely are you to recommend Dr. Melnic?
After interviewing 3 different orthopedic surgeons I decided to go with Dr. Christopher Melnic who was the only one of the 3, to suggest a partial vs full knee replacement. (upon inquiring, I learned that partials were not a procedure that all surgeons offered)? His reasoning for a partial made sense to me. Significant deterioration was present only in the medial compartment of my right knee. It was bone on bone due to years of running. With the other two compartments intact and void of any arthritis, why tear into all 3 areas? In addition to that logic, Dr Melnic suggested that the partial would result in less trauma to my entire knee, a quicker recovery, an easier recovery, and maybe most importantly it would feel more like my real knee. I am now 3 months from surgery and could not be happier with my decision to go with a partial replacement. my recovery has been super quick and clean and returning to being an avid cyclist with living a very active lifestyle.
