Ten weeks after surgery, Bill competed in the Chicago Triathlon and placed first in his age division.

Bill an avid triathlete, came to Dr. Berger in January of 2009 with the complaint of pain in his right knee. Although Bill did not let the pain interfere with his training, he said he felt it constantly and he was ready to do something about it.

When Dr. Berger informed Bill that he had arthritis in his right knee, Bill opted to have total knee arthroplasty—or, a total knee replacement—to alleviate the constant pain from arthritis. Two months after his initial consult, Bill came in for knee replacement surgery with Dr. Berger.

The surgery enabled Bill to return to his rigorous training regimen and competition schedule. Ten weeks after surgery, Bill competed in the Chicago Triathlon and placed 1st in his age division. He went on to compete in several triathlons around the country and is still going strong; most recently, he competed in a half Ironman Triathlon and again, won his age division.
