    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    Yes - I live in Tampa and need to wear sandals otherwise I feel like I am going to explode from the heat. I have found orthotic sandals that help.

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I am feeling better. There was/is no infection! My issue now is my leg will be 1 and 1/2" shorter due to the surgery and my leg remains pretty swollen. I am 5 weeks into 6 weeks of non weight bearing but I can't believe that it will be enough time...

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    34 ans 36. The 34 year old lives with me and has been helping to care for me for the past 9 months. The older one is married and is expecting his first child in October. I am hoping being a part will give him some perspective. They believe that I did too much over my last recovery and sabotaged...

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    I made it through surgery. I had it August 1st. I am now non-weight bearing on that leg for 6 weeks - the hardest thing ever. I am dealing with 2 hostile sons, who believe I should have gone to a rehab facility, who, after much negative communication would only take me for 5 days anyway. They...

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    I am trying to hope for the best! If there is an infection, it will be much more complicated than just fixing a fracture. I have never been to a rehab facility before because I always came home weight bearing and could rehab myself pretty well. Does anyone have a guess about how long the stay...

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    Thank you for your input Josephine - I am hoping it is an apparatus failure - that would be the easiest to fix. The trauma doc's guess is that was the case but he won't know for sure until he rules out infection. I don't have any signs of infection - drainage, etc. and my bloodwork is always...

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    I will be having surgery August 1st now - trying to surrender my lack of control. I will have to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks - able to put the foot down but that's it. SO scared. The best case scenario is that I have a fracture that can be repaired, probably caused by the apparatus. The...

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    Dr Hadekuwich did my first 2 knee replacements at Florida Orthopedic in 2007 and 2008. I am trying to stay local but I think if I travel I will go to an academic institution. I have decided to consult with a physician Dr. Bostrom at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NY. It is amazing to me...

    Hopefully the X-rays came through (my son did this for me, I am not computer savvy) an you can crop them appropriately. The last one is right after surgery March, 2017 (looks OK) the first two have the obvious bend in the leg July, 2017

    Revision TKR 3rd time around on left knee

    I don't know why the fibula is fractured. It seems that my leg is very weak. I am trying very hard to find someone local but will travel if I have to. I was also thinking of Mayo in Jacksonville. I don't know the procedure for seeing someone out of state. Do you visit for a consultation and then...
