DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University and United States National Team head coach Mike Krzyzewski underwent successful total knee replacement surgery this morning at Duke University Hospital.
The surgery was performed by Michael P. Bolognesi, M.D., joint replacement orthopaedic surgeon at Duke University Medical Center.
“The technical aspects of the case went as we had hoped, and Coach Krzyzewski is doing well,” Dr. Bolognesi said. “We will try to get him up walking today, as we will let him put as much weight as he tolerates on the implant right away.”
Krzyzewski could be released from the hospital within three days and will begin a rehabilitation program at Duke.
