    I met a Surgical nurse who assists in replacement surgeries, She said something about Anterior something or other of the tibia or tibial plate? This was just last night.... I will look up lax patellar ligament. I have my Social Security hearing on the 25th of this month I have waited 2 1/2 years...

    I haven't posted here in some time, I have resorted to wearing a hinged brace when walking on uneven surfaces and it has helped. Does anyone have an opinion as to what could be the cause of the movement in this video I have posted? Each and every time I had brought it up to the Dr. he tells me...

    @Jordon6 My ROM has never been an issue as a matter of fact it may hyperextend just a little...I am not in PT as it only aggravates my symptoms. I do not know if you read previous comments but my last PT said I had good strength however on one of my first visits he had me do a stretching...

    @Jamie thanks for the information, a lot of questions in my head as to why the Dr. would take on something outside of his specialty and not recommend someone else. I was referred by my primary Dr. originally for knee pain which originally was 2 tears in the meniscus that developed into the...

    No choice at the moment, LTD requires doctors care .... now that I have an Appointment farther down the recovery period with the other Dr. that hopefully will change

    @PegGar16 I have S.S. on appeal with a disability lawyer it was denied at initial and reconsideration level ... the Attorney is more then confident saying the State level already proved the case for him but yes its a waiting game. I have to trust he is right

    @Jamie I agree with your comment and have an appointment setup with Dr. Ginnetti March 17th, 3 days before going to the Surgeon who performed the surgery. It makes sense to me as Dr. Ginnetti is the only one of the 3 who gave me this reinforcement about it seeming loose at about the 6-7 month...

    @Jamie I did this all online maybe a sit down face to face with a case worker is a better way to go. Lord knows I have nothing better to do at this point

    @Josephine looking through my notes Dr. Gianetti did go into a brief detail or explanation as to how it is hard for Surgeons to properly reattach the ligaments so this does make sense.

    @Josephine I 100% agree with the ligament diagnosis as it feels unstable side to side and climbing stairs. I do not know about a faulty implant however it would go a great ways to them being able to give me some ideas, I have heard or read of the plastic insert not snapping together properly...
