For knee replacement surgeries, you want to be sure that the knee is capable of taking the kind of punishment that knees tend to endure in the course of normal functioning.

Still looks pretty brutal. Not sure what that is connected to, but whatever it probably really tweaked out the muscles and tendons and whatnot.

This stretched my understanding of what wtf meant

Adding video to channels (Anatomy, Fear) - requested by Zawash.

they are removing an old (maybe infected) total knee replacement.
that's what its supposed to look like (maybe not so wide of a swing with the hammer to risk contamination of the sterile field, but pretty close)

They glue it in pretty good. I imagine getting it out again isn't exactly easy.

oh, it's a knee

thought at first that must be one deep molar

I thought Mike Piazza retired?

I was going to dodge your reply but I always enjoyed the games I attended when Barry Bonds tore shit up, even at the cost of my home team.

But I've witnessed first hand several of Piazzas's epic grand slams. Most games are like, well, ok that was boring, if not medatative, but not those Piazza games.

Sort of like this surgery. Most surgeries are just so boring. But this is home run leading shit right here.
