About 2 years prior to surgery, I injured my knee tripping down the steps at home. Something twisted making me writhe in pain and made it impossible for me to put weight on it for several days. After having an orthopedist inject steroids into my knee to reduce the inflammation and pain on 2 occasions, it was decided that surgery was indicated. My meniscus had exploded I was told. Dr. Melaragno replaced my knee followed by a month of very intense and painful PT. Sticking with it faithfully is the reason my knee now seems as good as new! Persistence pays off. I have told many others about Dr. Melaragno’s excellent work. I have heard others talk of their problems and foibles after knee surgery, even ones who were not obese, so I was skeptical going in. But following his orders is critical to success and he is top-notch in his field. Many thanks to him for seeing to it that I walk without pain and can sleep without painful interruptions to turn over multiple times.
