Lester: No one ever told me that playing drums would eventually wear things out.
This is the gold and platinum for the work I did with the Doobie Brothers.
I played hard, like that man, banging those pedals.
Physician Assistant: Now you’re going to have to push here.
Lester: Ow!
Physician Assistant: Oh, I’m sorry.
Lester: That’s OK, I’m used to it hurting.
Nurse: You’ve lost all the cartilage on the inside of the knee, so that’s all bone
on bone.
Dr. Jankiewicz: The plan for Lester is MAKOplasty®. It’s a resurfacing of the knee versus a
total knee replacement. I’m going to be using robotic technology with 3-D modeling.
Only that portion that is without cartilage will be replaced.
The computer’s going to tell us how much bone to take. If you go outside the line,
it shuts itself off. The knee is balanced, it feels like a normal knee.
He’s doing great. He came in the office, he was walking normal.

Lester: I can do this without any problem.
