I would trust whatever Dr. Crowther has. He is in same practice as the Feigenbam brothers that had handled the NC State athletes before they split off from Raleigh Orthopedic, formed their own company and are arguably the experts in the field.

My wife is going to need one of these soon due to repeated injuries through life.  I've noted the doctors so far but are there recommended knees?  How long can you expect them to last with normal activity including walking or biking?

I have another year to go according to the doc last week. Atrophy in
muscle will take a long time to heal. No worries, though. It is
wonderful to wake up every day, be able to walk and to slowly get
through the God awful withdrawal from 8 months of narcotics that is pure
Hell.
