Free, about 15 minutes, no account needed. Your Fit Score, your questions and Dr. Crawford are kept together when you sign in. Choosing a surgeon here does not confirm an appointment or the practice’s acceptance of your case; your surgeon decides with you whether a True Knee fits.
WHAT EVERY TRUE KNEE SURGEON IS HELD TO
The criteria that uphold the True Knee Standard.
More than 200 joints a year
Annual joint replacement volume.
Fellowship trained
Completed fellowship training in joint replacement.
Five or more years in practice
And a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.
The True Knee technique
Resurfaced to your own shape and alignment, no soft-tissue releases.
Your record, released to you
Operative notes and postoperative X-rays shared with you and the True Knee Institute.
The True Knee recovery program
For every True Knee patient.
Timely access
A consultation offered within 14 days of your request, and a surgery date within 30 days of your surgeon confirming you are ready.
These are the criteria every True Knee surgeon agrees to, so that you receive the five components of the True Knee Standard. True Knee designates surgeons by review; a designation is not a ranking and not a promise of a particular result.
