A treasure of knowledge for generations to come.
Thanks a bunch to you and Lila for taking the time and effort to make this detailed report of her nice recovery.
Wishing you and the clan all the best ... and my sweeties cheer Lila and give her a big hug and a definitive
On a side note: While being a show stopper for your repair, that new knee joint looks exactly like a construct I talked to Sandro about on how it should be done years ago - great to see DS still improving what was already very good to begin with, so a for them as well( even though that didn't help you at all).
It took a while to put together this "tutorial" ... even longer than the actual knee replacement ... WHEW!!!
Even though I could not use it, the new knee joint design, to me, is AWESOME! With the double pivot design, joint tension should remain fairly constant for a much longer time than with the original single pivot design ... twice as many friction surfaces to wear in/wear down ... and I would think less bolt tension would be required for the same overall joint tension. Also, I saw a fairly recent DS video (don't remember where) showing the skeleton and I am pretty sure that I saw the same design joints used in the elbows now. I am not 100% sure on this though.
I LOVE progress!
Cheers!
