Holding up a photo of the X-ray on his phone for viewers, Roker explained what went into his new knee. “There’s a hinge that goes all the way up into the femur down to the tibia and then there’s a hinge in between,” he said.

Plus, there’s a titanium cone in there for the bone to grow around.” He noted that he had been focusing on taking it easy and doing outpatient physical therapy at the hospital for his knee. On May 15, Roker said he would be doing three days of physical rehabilitation per week for “a few months” to get himself back up to speed.
