Ouch! I broke my knee in 1979, and it still gives me billyo in the cold weather (I'm in Australia, and it's nearly winter now)!. My knee was pinned together following the accident, but I'd imagine that surgery has advanced to the point where he'll be in a lot less pain than I was!. I hope so, anyway - good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
