Hey Sue
Just a quickie, I've had bi-lateral lateral releases and neither workeddue to it being soft tissue surgery and the EDS making my soft tissues sooo bad quality they never healed! I'm really pleased that you appear to be having much more success than me. Soft tissue surgery (wrist, knee, shoulder, hip) has NEVER worked so I've always had to resort to more drastic measures. I did write to Dr Zaslav (spell) whom you recommended some months ago, but he never replied. Anyway good luck with your improved knee joint. I also had gross co-lateral and cruciate instability so this probably didn't help matters much either! I even had a screw fixating my diatal radial ulna joint for six months in conjunction with an above elbow cast to make some scarred tisssue - but all that happened was the scre eroded my bone and fractured my ulna. So after a total wrist fusion 12 months ago, I'm now awaiting a Herbert Implant i the ulna in an attempt to stave off fusing the ulna. ANyway, once again it was great to hear it had worked for someone! Good Luck and it would be good to know how thigns pan out. Keep smilin' :-)))
