    Revision TKR Wberry knee is up<

    @Josephine actually they are no different from the earlier images i posted in this thread. There was no difference from last exam and this one. The patella is still coming in contact with the patella on its right side when knee bends and I either step up, or down. Apparently the action pulls...

    Revision TKR Wberry knee is up<

    Well visit with the OS was a long one. We went through xrays, CT scans everything. My OS does a lot of revisions and TKRs, around 500 a year. He thought he had gotten everything fixed and never anticipated this at all. The work he did last year took care of all my issues. But this patella...

    @NAUChick I picked the hospital in case there are issues. I know either can have an infection risk. Look at the history of the facility and make the call. Did they give you a choice?

    @Celle actually he has only had one go at it. he is who i went to after the first surgeon. I picked him as the most experienced revision specialist I could find. I did see him and one other and picked him. I do plan to seek our another surgeon after I see him this week. I just feel more...

    Revision TKR Knee implant failure.

    I selected the hospital just in case there are complications. Plus PT was there already. This surgery was a bit more than what I wanted in a surgical center. Also it was the quickest I could get in. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    That's scary, hopefully he doesn't get this result often. Aquick review of what was done for my revision: 1. taller spacer 2. lateral release on the right side to hopefully re center the knee cap 3. Some slight removal on the right side of the knee cap to help see if it made the difference...

    Revision TKR Knee implant failure.

    Hi: Small world, Dr. Pappodemus in Wichita did my revision surgery, but it was a limited revision. The only hardware that was changed out was my spacer, the upper and lower prosthetic are the original set. Despite that the recovery was similar to a revision recovery. Still had to go through...

    Sigh, yea, this is looking more and more apparent. I am getting so tired of this. I went from my present OS to a serious second opinion and visits to get my current one that did the spacer revision and lateral release. His plan was supposed to fix my really loose knee, which he did and...

    I am spinning my wheels until the next appointment at this rate. I am hoping for more details on options then. I will not have anything done until next year probably. I currently cannot do stairs or climb hills with out intense pain as the prosthetic grinds across the back of my knee cap. I...

    Revision TKR Beginning my recovery.

    I had this same procedure done on my knee. Recovery is a lot faster and yes, short stay. It fixed my looseness quite well. I have an additional problem related to my tilted knee cap that is still ongoing. But if your knee cap is straight like 95% of humans you will be fine.
