New Knee

[zippy]

CVGMmartin,

Ride on man, Ride on. Enjoy it to it's fullest.

It's good to hear that there is still trials (observed) after getting the Chop, Cut, Rebuild knee. I assume it is like anything that is modified on the human body, results are dependent on The skill of the Doc in performing the operation, the skill of the parts makers so they fit properly, and how well your own body heals and takes the addition of foreign objects in the body. Of course as any of us that have been injured knows the physiotherapy is VERY important in order to get back to normal.

(We ride trials so we are not exactly normal)

I have been riding with this brace the last month and a half. http://www.podmx.com/

Unbelievable brace. I hyper extended my right knee riding. After tweaking it numerous times causing complete agony, I decided I needed to get this. It's the thinnest brace out there, but it works phenomenal. I didn't want a big beefy brace, especially for trials riding. I bought the pair and I wont ride without them now. The knee puck floats off the knee and bends with the knee. You can also remove the knee pad if you just want the brace aspect.

I highly recommend reading up on this brace. My medical covered it 100%. Without med coverage they cost just under $950.00 US for the two.

If anyone has any questions about them I'll do my best to answer them. I feel they have saved me tearing my knee probably 10 times now. Because of what I did to my knee originally, I don't have the strength side to side and front to back when pressure is applied. The brace eliminates all my fears of re injuring my knees now!!! That is worth $$$$$$
