This is something I've experienced periodically since the left knee TKR in summer 2013 but has been quite marked recently
Early on found if while walking, if I misjudged and hit the floor with my left foot the knee joint would suddenly jerk forward without any known signals from my brain: it was unexpected. I can stop it though using mind control so to speak (the same kind of mind control I'm using to type this message with my fingers).
More recently it happens in normal walking both inside and outside and can happen on a flat surface.
Is this what they call instability? I did talk to my GP about this not long after the op but she didn't think it was cause for concern. Also the TKR feels tighter than it used to: I'm more aware of it.
