Patient Review, Dan Lefkowitz
Knee Surgery & Physical Therapy Success With Dr. Tehrany
Longtime patient Dan Lefkowitz has consistently turned to Dr. Armin Tehrany for expert orthopedic care. Trusting him with everything from shoulder reconstruction to rotator cuff repair and bicep tenodesis 5 years ago, and most recently, arthroscopic knee surgery on both knees.
“I’m amazed at how well I’ve recovered,” says Dan. “My right knee is actually feeling even better and quicker than the left!”Dan’s meniscus had flipped, causing significant discomfort and limiting his mobility. Dr. Tehrany recommended arthroscopic surgery, first treating Dan’s left knee, followed by a focused course of physical therapy. Once he was confident in the left knee’s recovery, Dan returned for surgery on his right knee (3 weeks after his left knee surgery!).
The procedure involved trimming away damaged tissue in both knees, which helped alleviate Dan’s symptoms and allowed for a much quicker recovery than his previous shoulder surgery. “The shoulder reconstruction was more involved; it required rebuilding structures,” Dr. Tehrany explains. “With the knees, it was more about cleanup, so the healing process was faster.”
What made a big difference in his recovery? According to Dan, it was Dr. Tehrany’s recommendation to begin physical therapy soon after his surgery. This, together with his surgical expertise and compassionate approach to his overall well-being, ensured a successful outcome.
