Lyle – Wartburg, Tennessee

Partial knee replacement put positivity back into my life. I’m an avid hiker, and in June 2022, I had tightness, swelling and pain in my knee after a hike. When fluid removal and medication were unsuccessful, I scheduled surgery for October 2023. The KOC team fully prepared me and were friendly and professional. Dr. Matthew Nadaud told me that I would return to hiking, a great morale booster. I completed physical therapy and in February 2024 hiked 9 miles through the most rugged terrain in Frozen Head State Park. It took limping around for months before coming to grips with the reality that I needed surgery, so I urge you to not wait to get the help that can improve your life!
