Scott’s journey began in his late teens after tearing both ACLs, which led him to adopt cycling as a way to stay active. Years later, his right knee deteriorated to bone-on-bone, leaving him with constant pain and limited mobility. At age 50, Scott turned to Tri-County Orthopedics, where Dr. D’Agostini performed a total knee replacement that would transform his life.
“Scott’s case demonstrates the remarkable results that can come from pairing surgical expertise with a patient’s commitment to recovery,” said Dr. D’Agostini. “By preparing well before surgery and dedicating himself to rehabilitation, he was able to achieve a rapid and impressive return to the activities he loves. His outcome is a testament to what modern orthopedic care can make possible.”
After surgery, Scott worked through a rigorous rehabilitation program, rebuilding strength and mobility step by step. Within eight months, he was back to competitive cycling and celebrated a victory in a 45-and-over bike race in Sterling, New Jersey. He has since returned to hiking and enjoying active pursuits with his family, describing the procedure as life-changing.
