At The Stone Clinic's
At The Stone Clinic's #RoboticJointCenter, we specialize in performing technologically advanced, athletic knee replacements that permit our patients to return to full activity—including running.
We have patients now running triathlons and (ultra)marathons, climbing mountains, and skiing a hundred days a year on the replaced parts inside their knees. Taking advantage of the groundbreaking innovations in robotic surgery, an athlete like Kevin can extend his athletic career and maintain his quality of life with his partial knee replacement for many years to come.

TRANSCRIPT
-----------------------------
I did the rehab with his people here. I've been very happy with it. It's I'm back to running. I'm running my sprints. I'm running miles a day and planning on increasing the mileage and just getting better and continuing on. So I'm very happy with what Dr. Stone has done for me. Hi, I'm, I'm Kevin. I'm 56, coming up on 57 years old. I've run most of my life since, since high school. I was never a cross-country or track runner, but I just ran for exercise. But, I enjoyed running five Ks in 10 Ks and even ran a couple of marathons up until the age of 50. At that point, I injured my right knee. I tore the meniscus. I went to see a sports medicine specialist in the Houston, Texas area where I live.
He did the meniscus surgery on me, said, yeah, we, you know, with rehab, you should be ready to run again in three to four months. I did everything that they said. I worked hard cuz I wanted to get back to running it. It felt loose, it felt sloppy. It just hurt to run. Then after it was almost four years, I could hardly even walk without pain. I would walk all the time with my wife would walk two miles a day, but I got to the point where I couldn't even hardly walk. And so I did research on, you know, knee surgeons, the top knee surgeons in the country, and I came across Dr. Stone out here in California and looked up all sorts of information on him and decided I would give them a call and send him my information.
I came out here in 2018. He did a partial, he said at that time he had to do a partial knee transplant on my right knee. Because the meniscus was just so far gone. He said he, he, it would take, he couldn't replace it, so he did that. The surgery went well. I rehabbed. I was after a year I was back to running and doing well. Then I tore the meniscus in my left knee and I thought, oh no. We'll see what happens here. But I came back out to California. He did the surgery on my left knee, said it wasn't that bad. There were two tears in my min meniscus. He took those out. Dr. Stone's, his interest in my knees seemed to be much more than the other doctor that I had in Houston. You know, he just, he just cut it out and said, yeah, you should be good to go and left it then to the, to the rehab people. But Dr. Stone's rehab people are really good and on top of it and, and helped out a great deal. But he also then showed me, you know the x-ray of how, how straight it was. And he, you know, every time I would come back to him, he, he, he goes through the therapy and, and checks me out.
Didn't that treatment with the doctor in Houston. Not at all. When I come for these sessions, I just make it a day trip and it's a long day for me, but, but it works out great. I can get here from Houston in a day and, and do the therapy and, and see him and, and then get back home. You know, when we first came out it was, I only had to spend a week really. He wanted me here longer, but I did, I did spend a full week out here and rehabbed and the people were great. And then they keep in touch with you and, and send you the exercises to do. It's great.
