    TKR Painful crepitus following TKR--what to do now and where to go for treatment?

    Yes, you're correct, not everyone has this complication and the model used makes a difference as well as the OS. A good article that refers to this complication, including mention of several other relevant articles, was found in "The Journal of Arthroplasty Vol. 25, No. 1 2010 "Arthroscopic...

    TKR Painful crepitus following TKR--what to do now and where to go for treatment?

    Update--------Consulted with my long time surgeon who replaced the other knee and he confirmed my suspicions that the problems I'm having are connected with the design of the posterior stabilized knee implant model and showed me on an instructional model what was going on--the tissue getting...

    Good news is always good to hear! NHKneeLady, I've followed your earlier comments about crepitus but seem to have missed hearing about what you eventually did. Did you have surgery or did time just heal? I have similar problem now and have been following your progress. :dancy:

    Thanks for help with the time issue--a big deal when you're trying to re-establish a normal life and making plans to enjoy the nice time of the year.

I started investigating this topic when my ortho surgeon suggested that I have arthroscopy for the crepitus at my 3 month followup after I asked him to feel my knee while I raised it. He seemed surprised, as if he wasn't...

    TKR Painful crepitus following TKR--what to do now and where to go for treatment?

    Thanks. It really helps to have information from those who've gone through this process and I'm happy that your recovery improved. I had forgotten to mention in my post that I'm not suppose to take NSAIDS but have found myself doing that on an occasional basis as my pain pills are running low...

    TKR Painful crepitus following TKR--what to do now and where to go for treatment?

    After total knee replacement (Posterior stabilized) Jan. 22 I had problems getting full extension and had several PT exercises specifically for that. About two months after surgery lifting my lower leg from floor without pain was impossible and a crackly, crunchy sensation could easily be felt...
