Look at the SDI's of the IEP so you can show that you have been following them with examples of how, and then request that the IEP be reopened. At that point ask the team to look at alternative placement.
The surgeon makes an incision across the front of your knee to gain access to the patella, more commonly referred to as the kneecap. In a traditional knee replacement, the incision is usually about 8 to 10 inches long. In minimally invasive knee surgery, the incision is usually about 4 to 6 inches long. The jury is still out as to whether or not the pros of the smaller scar outweigh the cons of a smaller surgical area.
How long does a knee replacement last? Patients often ask, âHow long will knee replacements last?â This is an excellent question, and particularly relevant for those who are younger and contemplating knee replacement. More than 600,000 knee replacements will be performed in 2017 and the number is due to rise to 2.2 million by 2020. Knee replacements reduce pain and improve function, and allow people to maintain a level of activity for as long as their overall health allows.
