“I had knee replacement surgery in November 2020 and it went great. Dr. Romness and the team at Virginia Hospital Center were fantastic. I started physical therapy that afternoon and I went home the next day. I finished physical therapy after about 6 weeks with full range of motion. I was back at work about six and a half weeks after surgery. While on a work assignment in Florida, I entered a US Amateur Tour golf tournament in Orlando. Exactly four months after my surgery, I won the tournament by shooting a 76 with over 109 players entered. I cannot thank Dr. Romness, my Depuy Synthes rep, Brian Davis and the whole OrthoVirginia staff for all that they have done to get me back to great movement pain free!” – Chris A.
