Brent Bankston; fiancee just had two major knee surgeries in 2 months due to a Jeep rollover we had in Utah. He is a no bullshite guy but is the go to.

If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you it'll be okay he's not the guy but he's going to fix your problem right.

I prefer Brent Bankston. He’s the official orthopedic surgeon of the LSU Fightin’ Tigers.

But for real idk.

Hopefully it’s nothing major...

I tore my ACL and MCL in high school playing football 13 years ago. Dr. Messina from Bone and Joint did the surgery. He has since retired.

I decided to play a pick up basketball game a week ago and knee is still sore and hurting . Just want to get it checked out.

Bankston did my ACL reconstruction. I was back in 9 months to full strength.

Dr. Braud. One of only two I think in the city that does the robot assisted surgery.

I suggest watching The Bleeding Edge documentary on Netflix. A big portion on robotic surgery and not flattering.

I've always been curious as to how people actually utilize these threads. Do you tally the votes and put your life (or kneecaps) in the hands of whoever gets the most mentions?

Yeps. Winder can co can be seen on sidelines during games and plenty players' knees under the belt.
He did 2 knee and 1 elbow for me. Old rugby injuries. He's good.

Just put a pillow under your knees when you’re doing that

Well for a meniscus scope he’ll be ok with any mentioned. Pretty straightforward.

Winder. He did mine when I tore my ACL and does LSU football. Varies person to person but mine healed faster than most, but I have to imagine the Dr. has something to do with it.
