Thank you, I will do that. I’ll make inquiries through my cycling clubs and see who has had the sugery and with whom, and hopefully some cream will rise to the top, so to speak. I had a sports doc do arthroscopic on one of the knees for a meniscus tear back in ‘11, and I saw him for a bit, but then sought a second opinion, after my first couple of arthritis flare up episodes, from a more generalist ortho who has worked on a lot of wealthy folks in the area, and so has a kind of celebrity, like appearing in the glossy, social magazine, Hour Detroit, on their annual 10 Best list. Either of those docs I’d be comfy with— one a sports specialist, one who does lots of knees— but if you think having a sports specialist is crucial, I’ll focus my research in that channel.
