The surgery took place in Van Nuys, CA May 17, 1987.  Before the surgery the doctor invited medical students from the local university to observe.  I was fortunate to have the physician video tape my knee surgery.  The surgery took little over an hour.  The video I received was about 6 minutes long.  I edited important segments of the video showing each process.  The videos are from 30 seconds to one minute in .avi format
