- December 21, 2018 In December of 2016, I had a fresh osteochondral allograft transplant of my patellofemoral joint and a distal realignment. Before surgery, exercise was painful along with pain during activities of daily living. I was unable to do activities I love such as running, box jumps, squats, and simple things like carrying my kids up the stairs. I am now a year and a half post-surgery and ran pain free for the first time since my first surgery 13 years ago! I am also able to do the things I wasn’t able to do before my surgery!! I am very thankful for you and your staff!!
