Patient testimonial from Keith Vaughn (age 58) describing a sudden knee injury, delayed improvement over two weeks, a diagnosis suspected by friends of a tear, and subsequent outpatient surgical care with Dr. Schacht. He reports rapid outpatient recovery, minimal current pain (near 0/10), restored walking ability, improved sleep, and that the procedure improved but did not fully 'completely fix' the knee—results are "as close as possible" and working well so far.

I'm Keith Vaughn and I am 58. I couldn't walk very good. I had a incident getting up from being seated on a garage floor. Very quick move to not being able to walk real quick. Just painful. And something had to be done. It just didn't get any better. I thought, I'll give it a week and see if things improve. We didn't do any good. So I thought, well, we'll give it two weeks. Still no good. And I actually asked around. Friends of mine explained what I had done, and they were pretty much convinced that I had torn something in my knee. So I thought, yeah, I better have it looked at. My biggest concern was that I would go through all of the trouble of the procedure and all the downtime and all the pain, and they did not really make much difference. I trusted Dr. Schacht to do a good job. Didn't know it was going to be so much. Outpatient wise, it was pretty quick and easy. I can do pretty much all the walking I did before. I don't have any trouble sleeping like I did before. Don't really have any pain that is lingering. If I stress it, I might have a little bit, but I don't really have any problems. I was asked what my pain level was and I was like, well, is there anything under one? Because I really don't have any pain right now. And what happened to my knee was something that couldn't be completely fixed, but they got it as close as possible and that's working out real well so far.
