Hiya Naomi 
Good Luck with your your knee replacement & ankle operation 
I'm having my 3rd wrist operation since: 13-10-2002 on my left hand/wrist,
I was due to have a limited &/Or full wrist fusion wrist operation in 2005, but one appointment for my operation was cancelled & transfered to later in 2005 & the second one was cancelled to complactions with my left hand/wrist with RSD/CRPS & skin infections, so sought a second opinion/view in October 2005 & it as agreed a limited wrist fusion was correct thing to do.
But due to the complactions with my left hand/wrist with RSD/CRPS & skin infections, & my surgeon not being around the wrist operation kept being moved to & from one NHS hospital to another NHS hospital.
I am now due to try a less invasive wrist operation on my left hand/wrist on: 15-05-2008, due to the effects of the RSD/CRPS which was triggered by the MCI/PMCI,
this wrist operation is known as: Arthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy for palmar midcarpal instability/Thermal Capsulorrhaphy for Midcarpal Instability,
& it's only been carried out in the Uk on around 20 - 40 patients since 2004 - 2007,
& my NHS Hospital & Consultant Orthopaedic & Trauma Upper-Limb & Hand Surgeon have never carried this out before & no one really knows the long term results & outcome of the studies.
Good Luck with your your knee replacement & ankle operation 
Julie's having the same wrist operation known as: Arthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy for palmar midcarpal instability/Thermal Capsulorrhaphy for Midcarpal Instability,
tomorrow, as fair as I can remember 
Take Care & Take It Easy
