FWIW - I had a Zimmer Biomet "Persona" knee installed back in February...whatever exactly the procedure was and the tools they use are apparently manufacturer specific. The surgical notes listed all the tools they used as well as part numbers and serial numbers of the new parts.

I think someone said before and I believe it's the most important advice: It's all about - #1 - the surgeon and #2 - Your commitment to doing ALL of the physical therapy, every day. My surgery was going to be a little complicated (long story) and I wanted to feel comfortable with the person doing it. I asked a bunch of questions and was happy with all of the answers and the confidence that he had that it would go well. 4 months later and I'm beyond thrilled with the result. I'm able to ride 15+ miles without a hint of discomfort and getting stronger and going further every day. I can even get out of the saddle and put down some power...haven't been able to do that in a long time. And I'm walking distances that I haven't walked comfortably in 20 years. When my muscles catch up to my new knee I'm sure I'll be back to 50 mile days with no problems. Wishing you all the best!
