      Most definitely not!!!  You should reckon on at least three days in hospital, possibly more if there are any complications. I was in for ten days because of anaemia, needing blood transfusions, and nerve damage.  It is much too big a procedure to be done as an outpatient.

      Hi Debra

      The majority of Tkrs are ok , yes as of any surgery there are risks , like I said in my last post I'm very happy with my progress, you can do some work on finding out hospital,s & surgeon,s performance on line if uk ( don't know other countries)
