    Foot Supination issue intensified post TKR. Anyone got input?

    Thank you for the interest. It's obviously not a common issue following a knee replacement. There was, I know from my shoe wear pattern, an existing deformity on the left which I catered for in my pre op gait and made walking doable . Now I'm straight on the right side it has thrown a...

    Foot Supination issue intensified post TKR. Anyone got input?

    OK thanks for the response and sorting out the posting. As I understand it, the situation is that I've gone as far as I can with orthotics . I still have to see the surgeon and put a name to what procedure they are proposing.

    Foot Supination issue intensified post TKR. Anyone got input?

    TKR on right knee in January of this year. I am very happy with the result of that op. Prior to surgery I had always supinated, I would say quite badly. Knee surgeon's notes quote a valgus deformity and windswept legs. Post op I now have a very noticeable increased supination in my left foot...

    TKR

    For what it’s worth my thought would be to leave it as it is and stay with the stairs.Taken slowly and correctly with your crutch they are not that daunting. I don’t think they’ll discharge you until you feel able to manage stairs.

    TKR 12 months and Strong

    OK so this has to be slightly unusual in terms of shared roads travelled ..... I walked the Via de La Plata from Seville as far as Merida but family commitment meant I had to leave it there. Went back two years later to Merida and finished it on the bike. Don't know how popular it is now but...

    TKR

    Good luck on the 6th. There won't be any bone on bone once its done so you will have lost that source of pain and discomfort! I would echo Bionic's advice if you can do it without pain but if not then don't beat yourself up . Plenty of time for the bike later on in your recovery. Dont skip the...

    TKR Trailer's Abused Knee Repaired

    Ok so having found this site when looking for what to expect at 6 weeks after TKR I’m probably a bit tardy in starting a recovery log but hey ho nothing ventured….. My knees had been abused in earlier years by too much squash, football and skiing and carrying too much weight while doing those...

    TKR 12 months and Strong

    Just found this site on the weekend after doing a search looking for what to expect after 6 weeks following TKR. In scrabbling around on the site I noticed that hill in your profile image , recognised it and then began to read your postings and am now up to date. I have to say the slowly but...
