A patient describes recovering knee function within two weeks of a procedure, contrasting it with surgery on the other leg that required a six-week brace and months of physical therapy. They're relieved to have avoided another operation.
Within a couple of weeks.
A tendon on the kneecap (speaker's phrasing).
Six weeks.
After having the procedure done within a couple of weeks, I was going back up and down steps with my knee. Having it, it was just a simple slip. I started tearing my tendon on my kneecap and the pain was horrible. It couldn't go up and down steps. After having the procedure done within a couple of weeks, I was going back up and down steps. When I'd done something similar to my other leg, we had to have surgery. I was in a brace for six weeks and then had even more, more extensive physical therapy on that leg. So I'm very happy not to have had to endure that surgery again.
