Seven Years after my MT, I'm still playing ice hockey year round, mountain biking, and generally going for it. Not skiing much because my kids hate it, and I generally don't have time, but I could...

I just happened to check back in and I'm glad to see Splat is doing well. I'm almost 5 years out from my meniscus transplant, and still going strong. Just finished my 3rd season of adult...

Since I didn't run for 3 years after my recon, I started at zero two months ago. I wasn't even sure I could run two miles (though I put 5K on my roadie in 09, and 3K last year). The next two months...

My dumbass with two meniscally challenged knees is doing a half-ironman in July...if I don't break down first. Yes, I may be dumb or at least stubborn beyond all logic.

My Dr. didn't forbid it,...

Thanks, I'm gonna go look for some today...I'm due anyway, but that price is out of my ballpark.

shit. I had a bad feeling when she didn't come crawling up the slopes yesterday. The weather didn't freaking help. That sucks.

What the F...still lost? My wife is on the way down the hill and it was white out conditions for an hour or so causing the munchkins to call it. The valley is blue sky, so good weather is coming. ...

I need a recommendation for a pair of affordable ski pants that have good access to the legs to tighten/loosen my knee brace. I have to take my f-ing pants down every time I need to adjust and it...

I had 20% of my medial left after three surgeries. My knee ached badly after I did anything. My knee also felt really loose all the time. If I hiked, ran, played anything, or even walked the golf...

I have a different issue in my knee (had a meniscus transplant after removal of the entire medial meniscus), and I have a custom Breg Fusion brace to provide stability. Before the new meniscus my...

Medial meniscus only. I have some arthritis in my knee cap area too that they cleaned up. I had a bucket handle tear in my medial meniscus in 1995, that started this wonderful freaking journey.
...

I had a little more of my meniscus before my last injury than you did, but I literally shredded the rest. I too had a very unstable feeling when I had about 20% left. I had a meniscus transplant in...

The knee surgeries were my parting gifts for a college and pro baseball career as a catcher. I boarded for 10 years, not loving it, but since I thought it was better for my knees I kept doing it. ...

I was thinking Spartan Helmet, but it lacks good vision.

So after three knee surgeries and 10 years of snowboarding I'm back skiing. I had a great few days this year on rented equipment (my 207 K2's with rear-entry boots weren't going to cut it). I think...

I skied on the torn meniscus for 5 different days, and it never bothered me. But it killed when I twisted it funny just doing nothing (even getting up from my office chair).

I had mine fixed in...

Frankly, Dr. Mark doesn't know a damn thing about MTs other than what he has read in journals. How many has he done? What studies has he participated in on MTs? Has he rehabbed an MT patient? My...

My doctor, Kevin Stone (the guru of the West Coast Meniscus Transplants), does not automatically perform osteotomies with the MT. His results after years and over 150 MT's are pretty impressive,...

Dr. Mark, I'm an owner of a meniscal allograft, but not a hater. My doc's post-op protocol does not include giving up sports. However, I'm a realist. If I can get 5-10 more years of sports I'll be...

I had one done in December 2008 because I'm young, very active, and had 70% or more of my meniscus removed from 3 prior tears. I was symptomatic daily, and had trouble simply walking a golf course. ...

I'm the baseball player that had the MT in December 2008. I had Dr. Kevin Stone do it, and I'm damn glad I did. I had about 80% cut out during prior surgeries, and I went to Dr. Stone to get me...

Rometheworld--so from your summary of events it looked like you went on vacation to Jamaica. I'm supposed to be flying direct to Hawaii. Not sure what might be done in my knee, and I'm meeting with...

Thanks Kim, I'll look into the airline when I get my final surgery date. Sounds like you were lucky with the FAs!!! I should be far enough out that I won't need the cryocuff. I'm dreading...

I had a setback last weekend, and have decided I have to have my meniscus fixed before the end of the season (yes it just snowed 7 feet in Tahoe). I think a piece got stuck in the joint...so painful...

I've been a lurker in this forum since I recovered from a meniscus transplant in my right knee...long story, but that knee is now bullet proof 2 years later (knock on wood). The doc who did my...
