I've had three. Make sure you enjoy the effects of the first one because the more you have, the less chance the future ones will be successful. First surgeon - orthopaedic surgeon for the Montreal Canadiens - 7-8 years of pain-free success. Second surgeon - orthopaedic surgeon for older people - gave me a 50/50 chance of success - success for another 4 years but not as comfortable as the first one. Third surgeon - good calgary orthopaedic surgeon - gave me 30/70 chance of success and once he got in, realized there was little to nothing he could do.
