Caryn Honig loves to run. So much so, she is close to having completed nearly 50 marathons. Honig needed a knee replacement and the doctors she spoke with all said it would mean the end of running. Determined to find a doctor who could help. Honig’s research led her to Dr. Richard Berger, an orthopedic surgeon based in Chicago.
“There is something about running, the endorphins, and the way makes you feel...And so when doctors all over the country told me, you know, you shouldn’t run again, I was really sad and devastated,” she toldHonig needed a knee replacement and the doctors she spoke with all said it would mean the end of running.
Dr. Berger, who uses minimally invasive surgery and performs gender specific hip and knee replacements, told, “I knew that I could make her better, as I do with most of my patients, to get back to what they were doing before. Now, some patients want to run a marathon and they’ve never run a marathon, that’s a little harder. But with Karen, she’s already been a runner. All she needed was a good knee and I know I can do that for my patients.
These patients had only virtual appointments leading up to their surgery. “...We met them the day of surgery, and they’re going to go back home in a day or two. They have outpatient surgery, they’re going to go back home,” said Dr. Berger.
