Cementless
graduate
Has anyone else been told by their OS they can live with a loose implant (no infection) if they want?
Pain/soreness around a 2 or 3 at times.
ES Tylenol 1-2 can quiet the soreness for awhile.
Cementless left TKR done on 10/19/2016.
I am allergic to the bone cement.
The femoral implant is intact but the tibial portion shows possible loosening on a nuclear bone scan. My bone did not adhere to the cementless implant. He said there was no worry about a fracture. He did give me his partner's name in case I decide to go with a revision. No guarantees the revision would work, 50/50.
