Making the decision to have a full knee replacement shouldn’t come lightly. Understanding the intricacies of both the surgery and recovery is important.
The best place to find that kind of information is from healthcare experts and the people who have experienced it firsthand. That’s what we looked for in compiling this year’s list of best knee replacement blogs — resources that educate, inspire, and empower.

My Knee Replacement Recovery
For years, Ken Stangl put off having knee replacement surgery, despite the decreasing functionality and increasing pain in his knee. As he scoured the web for information about knee replacements, he found one perspective lacking: personal stories about what it’s like to go through a total knee replacement. With that in mind, Ken decided to start this blog and document his journey from preparation to recovery. On his site, visitors will find informative posts about every step of going through a total knee replacement.
