    TKR Day 1 on left TKR

    I had an infection scare and it ended up being a hematoma under my incision. I got all my staples out and am still restricted to 75 percent weight bearing which is limiting my PT. I am up to 135 in flex ion and 0 degrees extension. Cutting back on pain meds during the day if I can but it...

    TKR Day 1 on left TKR

    145/0, that seems like the perfect set of stats. Did you actively work on getting your leg out and strong? I do think it is counter productive to be flexing my quad when there are week old sutures running through the middle of it. 145/0 would put you in almost a full range of motion wouldn't...

    Thank you for the input guys. This sure does suck. Hopefully I can continue to progress with no more 2 hour procedures. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    TKR Day 1 on left TKR

    The brace is actually a plate that is left over from a previous distal femoral osteotomy. The screws were stripped so they just left it. Went to third PT session today and man am I getting a lot of scar tissue. Getting stiffer and stiffer for full extension. They are putting my heal on a...

    TKR Day 1 on left TKR

    Pain is def not gone, but swelling is here. Had a dressing change yesterday and got to see post op X-rays. It really feels like 1/2 step forward for 3 back. Frustrating to say the least. The staff assured me I would be thanking them a month from now. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    TKR Day 1 on left TKR

    Mine was definitely not cemented. My doc insisted I go with press fit for bony I growth. My knee is huge today, day 3 post op. All I have done is rest and ice. I think it is just due to the trauma my knee incurred during the procedure. There is also quite a bit of bruising showing up today...

    TKR Day 1 on left TKR

    TKR. Surgery was today at 11, spinal block, no intubation, light sedation. Block has worn off and pain is probably a 7-8 out of 10 every three hours. Already met with PT and I can move the knees in directions that I haven't in 7 years. That makes me excited, but not looking forward to the...
