Destapled

Had my two week checkup with Mr Parmar on Tuesday and he gave me the OK to go back to work He also, much to my relief, he removed the staples with a device which looked like a miniature version of the staple removers you get in offices.

He had some video of the operation to show, as well, but only once we managed to get one of the computers to work enough to show it. He had about 20 minutes of tape from the camera that goes into the knee. So I saw the scraping, the cutting and the drilling. I now know the whole process in quite alot of detail and I know that the screws are made from polymers which will blend into the bone over time and that the threading process is similar to how a knitting machine works.
