Tricompartmental Resurfacing Knee and Cartilage Cloning

[Guest guest]

I had both knees resurfaced by Dr. Gross a year ago, now my knees are

bone to bone. It seems the knee surgeries have not kept pace with hip

resurfacing.

Researching this, I came upon a couple US ortho docs doing

Tricompartmental Resurfacing Knee, which doesn't cut off much bone, and

another doc who soon will be doing cartilage cloning to replace

cartilage. All docs mentioned that these procedures had been done

oversees for years and are now getting FDA approval.

Does anyone know anything about the outcomes or anything at all about

these procedures?

Does anyone know which overseas docs have been doing them? I hear Koen

DeSmet has a fabulous knee surgeon working with him.

Any info appreciated.
