Revision TKR Isolated Polyethylene Exchange to Improve ROM?
I'm about 16 months out from TKA left knee. I experienced a great deal of scar tissue buildup and after very intense PT including any and all machines to improve my ROM. My extension is about 5 degrees and flexion is about 105. I can manage my life, but I still limp a bit and I'm not satisfied...- Riddler
