I want to know if anyone out there has had a TKR, and an allergy to a type of metal. My ortho is aware of my nickel allergy and I am not too concerned, but also a month after my ACL reconstruction I was diagnosed with septic arthritis. Nothing grew from the cultures but I was treated with antibiotics by a pic line, and for 6 weeks longer after discharge, fortunately my surgeon is not the same, but still it lingers in my mind. The septic arthritis was a nightmare and do not want a repeat. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
