Mine was a horizontal break of the tibia plateau about 1 inch below the top...the was also an intersecting vertical break but luckily everything was in place so surgery was optional assuming I could refrain from causing anything to shift or anything, which I did.
I spent 3 months in a wheelchair a month on a walker and 3 months with a cane, I still have to use the cane from time to time when the arthritis really kicks in....
Mostly the people who have had knee replacement say its very painful for a few days but after 6-8 weeks its the best thing they ever did...
Thanks for the tips guys.
