Smith and Nephews surgeon and partner did not put in the #1 product as promised in my 2nd replacement and I ended having to have 3 complete total knee replacements in the one leg. I was lied to and left by the surgeon and the company led to believe it was a 'recalled' product which actually was a UN-APPROVED FDA product. My life has never been the same and I have lost my career. I also was black balled and double-crossed with kick backs by the surgeon and the company to my attorneys here in Oklahoma. Later the Smith and Nephew attorneys along with the Surgeons oklahoma attorneys supeonaed me to 'their' battle between themselves over money forcing me left in the middle while they both bring inappropriate materials to the table to the patient who was 'put under anesthesia' then lied and never given the #1 product myself and my insurance company had approved for them to implant into my body. I warn you to beware ..... once you are under anesthesia you have no protection and do not have a way to stop a large company and their surgeons from doing as they please. Then in the court systems it is no different, money will buy your case and leave you as the looser again. I am more than happy to show all legal documents to prove my story. I have been unable to hire attorneys willing to take the licenses in question in the 6 patients in my surgeons cases. i received Smith and Nephews products in both knees.

I did a lot of research and found out about www.valuemedicare.com, a leader in medical tourism. ValueMedicare gave me excellent services. Though this company is a little expensive compare to other medical tourism companies(though it is still very cheap compare to US) but then you get treated by the best doctors in the best hospitals.

At 46 years of age (April 2007) I underwent the procedure. At five weeks I was able to bowl one game; I was walking 45 minutes a day by June and began bicycling; I went on a 10 day vacation to Germany in July; hiking in the Fall and even did some lite skiing in March. I'm now able to almost anything I like - including things I don't necessarily enjoy like scrubbing the kitchen floor on my hands and knees :) I had an ACL replacement done in the late 90's due to a softball injury and prior ski falls. Arthritis set in early. I tried Suparz injections and found quite a bit of relief which showed me what living without pain was all about. Unfortunately the relief was very short lived. My surgeon was fortunately one of the surgeons on the Deuce design team. After careful thought and consideration I went through with the surgery. I have no regrets! Rehab is a long ardous journey and it should be understood that this is not something to do into uninformed. Should anyone have any questions or interest in speaking with me I would be happy to correspond. Chris Patterson-Dueber chris@pattersonresources.com I am one of the first Deuce knee receipients.
