Hi! We are the Tippecanoe County Knee Replacement Support Group – the TippecaKnees. We are an informal support group formed by word of mouth. The support received from each other has been so helpful to us that we decided to branch out. This is intended for anyone who is considering having Total Knee Replacement (TKR) or who has recently had it done. We’d like to share with you what we have learned. And if you’ve had hip replacement, we’d love to have you join us!

Click on the "Our Brochure" link to see questions, answers and advice that we've found helpful. It contains information for both people thinking about or preparing for knee replacement surgery and those who have recently had it done.

Click on the "Helpful Information" link to view a list of books we've found to be helpful. There are also some helpful web sites including a wonderful knee replacement forum and a fun virtual "You do the knee replacement" site (a word of advice - if you haven't yet had your knee surgery, you may not want to view this!).

Click on the "Announcements" link to see what meetings and other activities are scheduled.

Questions are welcome! We'll tell you what we experienced or ask around.

We now have a forum at http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/knee-replacement-discussions

Please sign on and introduce yourself and/or ask questions!
