Total Knee Replacements
I had two ACL reconstruction surgeries, articular cartilage damage on my femur, and an unstable ACL when I met Dr. Minas. He was able to graft my bone, revised my ACL and replace my missing cartilage through the ACI procedure.
ACI + ACL Reconstruction
I discovered that although Dr. Minas is a world-class expert in the field of joint preservation, in person, he behaves more like a small-town doctor. He always took the time to listen to my questions and concerns, and he has surrounded himself with wonderful, compassionate people.
Partial Knee Replacement
After three hours of hiking, I was exhausted, but of all the parts of me that hurt (every muscle of my legs and feet), my knee was not one. It actually felt better after three hours of scrambling up ladders, rocks, dirt paths and logs that than it did prior to surgery. I was in much worse cardio shape, no question, but my knee actually didn’t hurt.
MACI + High Tibial Osteotomy
The staff at St. Mary’s was wonderful, the surgery was a success, and Dr. Minas and his team made sure I was set up for a successful recovery. Many weeks were spent on crutches and a cane, countless hours on a continuous passive motion machine, many months of physical therapy, but in the end, the payoff was worth it! My knee was almost pain-free for the first time in years.

Five years ago @ BWH you replaced both my knees; I had hiked half the Appalachian Trail. On my new knees, I hiked the 2nd half, completing it this past Saturday. I could not have done it without you!
