On Saturday, at Rush Midwest Orthopedics, a center renowned for these types of procedures, former President George W. Bush underwent a partial replacement of his left knee, less than two months after he had a partial replacement of his right knee.

Bush, like so many others after knee surgery, will work with his physical therapist on strengthening, flexing and extending the knee.
