Success Story: Knee Replacement Surgery at MCH

Peter Russell is an active guy who enjoys hiking and snowshoeing. But in recent years, staying active was becoming harder because of chronic knee pain. “I played a lot of soccer in my younger years,” he says, “so I wasn’t surprised when my knees eventually wore out.”

Peter chose Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates and Monadnock Community Hospital for his surgery. “I was very pleased with Dr. Brad White and with the hospital. Dr. White was professional, friendly, and took the time to answer all my questions. And my hospital experience was excellent, too.”

“MCH may be small, but it’s modern, clean, and has all the technology you’d find at larger hospitals. I had no reservations at all about having my surgery here.”

Peter had Uni-Knee replacement surgery on both of his knees last December. He was up and walking quickly, and spent several weeks in physical therapy, stretching and strengthening his legs to get back full mobility. “By the end of winter, I was out on my snowshoes again,” says Peter. “It feels great to be active again!”

Peter’s experience was so positive that he’s recommended Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates and MCH to friends. “You get great care, and it’s close to home. It doesn’t get better than that.”
