May 14, 2008 - I was wondering, since the implant is metal, will a person with a knee replacement set off the metal detectors at the airport?

May 14, 2008 - This was AWESOME! I have to have my knee replaced, and this makes it not seem so scary! Just hope my surgeon is as good as this surgeon, or even better. I now know a lot of questions to ask and how I can be more informed before getting it done!
