Featured I'm Back On The Bikes

Good to hear Wayne
My neighbour had one done at the end of last year and it's been a roaring success.
Here's to a great riding summer!

 

@Havit:
Enjoy your new quality of life!

 

The new one looks a lot more anchored and supportive of the surrounding bone structure, congratulations and hopefully you'll be back to full mobility shortly.

Interesting snippet for you.....
I used to be indirectly involved with some replacement knee research. For bonding the joint into the bone hole, they had some flesh coloured (light pink) special plasticene like dough. This was mixed up chemicals and kneeded in the hands but quickly became exothermic and too hot to hold. Working life was very short and soon went off to set pot hard like ceramic.
To check out the apparent hardness we once took a ball of it outside and bounced it, threw it, directly onto concrete and into a wall to try to smash it, no chance. A hammer and chisel was the only way we could break it up.

 

Glad to hear you back riding again am in a similar position being given the OK to ride again on March 25th though it's been 6 months for me.

 

@Havit Wayne. Great to hear you are good again or almost and looking forward to the riding season.

 

It sounds similar to the “steel putty” you can buy in the form of a plasticine type stick which you mix by kneeding and sets like, well, steel!

 

Good luck with your freedom Wayne.

 

Glad to hear you are back in the wind!

The wife had a knee replacement ten years ago. She can kick field goals now.
