[crw-talk] One hundred and fifty years of history of the Morse taper: from Stephen A. Morse in 1864 to complications related to modularity in hip arthroplasty - PMC

[griff]

Well folks, most know I had full knee replacement surgery. Twice.  First 
one, I woke up during the surgery and spotted a monitor in front of me.  
I watched them saw, drill a tapered hole in ME, smear cement over the 
implant and drive it into the tapered hole.  But I was so full of pain 
and tranquilizing medications I did not give a hoot, I watched for a 
while then decided to go back to sleep while they were pounding it into 
my leg.  And that's the truth.  They gave me a DVD of the surgery but I 
could not watch the whole thing.  j
