Photos Following the Fulkerson Osteotomy

Here are a few pictures following the operation. 

The photo above shows the images from the athroscope before the OS cut open the rest of my knee. During this part of the operation, my surgeon shaved/smoothed damaged cartilage from the back of my patella; removed a free-floating piece of cartilage in the joint; and mended the tear in my hyaline cartilage. Thankfully, my ACL looked good, considering I strained that back in 2008. 



The three photos above are from January 18th, after I got to unwrap my knee for the first time four days after the anteromedialization/TTT. 

And last, here is my new cyborg leg! Hehe. I'll be wearing this brace for awhile. On Tuesday morning (January 29th), I will have my first follow-up appointment.
