Revision TKR TKR problems - OS in Memphis?<
Oh wow! I am so glad that I found your thread! I have also had two unsuccessful revision surgeries and have been asking the same questions that you were asking. And that’s for the best ortho surgeon anywhere in the U.S! Right now, I’m restricted to the Birmingham area because of my insurance but...- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR 2 failed revisions & a stress fracture, all in 14 months
@kneeper it’s correct that stress fractures don’t usually show up on X-ray for the first month. But he ordered a MRI which showed “concerning for subacute non displaced stress fracture” which to me meant there was a very good chance and was suspected to be a stress fracture. But the report that...- Ilovecruising

@Motherbone I see where you had your revision done only a month after your TKR. I will try to go back and read also but what happened in the first month to require a revision? But I know it doesn’t take long for problems to surface!- Ilovecruising

@Motherbone Do you think that your tibia and fibula fractures actually happened at different times or were just diagnosed on different dates?- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR 2 failed revisions & a stress fracture, all in 14 months
@eaglemom yes the one year rule seems to be pretty consistent. Which means it will be next January before I can see someone else for my knee. It took a couple calls from my PCP just to get one to see me about the stress fracture. My OS sent me a message saying there’s was “no definitive” stress...- Ilovecruising

@eaglemom @Motherbone These stress fractures carry pain to a whole new level, don’t they? I was just walking across the room when I got the most excruciating pain just above my ankle! I had never felt anything like it before. It was 5 weeks before it was accurately diagnosed. I had resorted...- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR 2 failed revisions & a stress fracture, all in 14 months
For the past couple days, I’ve got a new problem to add to my list. My surgical knee pops several times a day. It is not the popping clicking sound that happens after a new replacement. But it’s similar to when you pop your neck or your back but this just happens spontaneously. I can always...- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR New to forum, not new to TKR nightmares
Definitely a nightmarish situation! I have no experience with surgical infection (thank God) but I have had two unsuccessful revision surgeries and a stress fracture of the tibia within last 14 months. I will not go back to my OS either and I’m researching other surgeons for a possible third...- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR 2 failed revisions & a stress fracture, all in 14 months
@Motherbone wow thank you for sharing your story! My problems appear somewhat insignificant in comparison to yours! I haven’t been NWB because no one has told me that I should be. But using my own judgement, I have only put very little weight on it as tolerated and believe me that hasn’t been...- Ilovecruising

@sistersinsin I’m sure you are correct about the sports meds doctors. I’ve put out feelers from a lot of my fellow travel nurses asking for the best ortho surgeons and hospitals they have worked at. Getting quite a bit of response so I’ll be checking them all out!- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR Revision TKR 1 1/2 weeks in. Is everything OK?
@Gertieprickles I am confused! Did you have a hinged knee implant or was your original just replaced with larger spacers! Either way, I hope you are having an excellent recovery.- Ilovecruising

Revision TKR HELP - 16 months out and in pain<
I just run across your post about the hinged knee implant that you were to get in June 16 in Houston. I kept reading for your outcome but there have been no updates! I am very interested in this as I too have had two unsuccessful revisions and my last chance is a hinged. Instability due to...- Ilovecruising

@sistersinhim thank you for your reply. I was suppose to go to my os last week but I called and rescheduled for October (just in case of emergency). But I have no intention of going back. After 2 failed revisions, doing an unnecessary surgery (suppose to replace with hinged knee implant but he...- Ilovecruising
