I have Osteo CHondroitis Dissecans in both knees. My right knee is worse than the other so thats where I had the implantation put. Well a long story short my knee is NOT cooperating! It will not full extend. I walk w/ a limp, and I have pain from standing or extending it while walking. I got my surgery in Nov. Of 2007. If I knew all of this I would have just stuck w/ the orthoscopy surgery which they first gave me. My doc says that it will take a while BUT my thinking is Life sux a bit now. I am 38yrs old. I really hope there is someone else out there that can gimme some advice or just some hope to carry on. Thanx -Daniel
P.S I am in a Dynoslint now trying to help my leg get it's full extension.
