Katherine Polychron never gave up on her active lifestyle — even after 7 surgeries stemming from a basketball injury at age 15.
At 43, she was told her only option was knee replacement... until she met Dr. Eric Berkman and Dr. Evan Meeks at UT Physicians. Their advanced, team-based approach — including a complex two-part surgery with cartilage and meniscus transplants — gave her a second chance.
Today, Katherine is back to running, hiking, and playing tennis — pain-free.
💬 “It’s truly a miracle. I’m starting to feel like myself again.”
We're proud to be part of stories like Katherine’s — where science, dedication, and expert care bring patients back to doing what they love.
