You sometimes have to hunt for a good revision surgeon, but these are the doctors who typically work with problem knees. They are used to fixing a primary TKR that hasn't gone so well. Eventually you'll be able to use our BoneSmart Joint Surgeon Locator to find these surgeons, but it's still new enough that we don't have all that data available yet. So.....I have lists of surgeons that we recommend you contact to see if they can help you.
I don't currently have any revision surgeons listed for Tucson, but if you'd be willing to travel to Phoenix, here are some possibilities:
Dr. Christopher Beauchamp, Mayo Clinic
Worked with PegGar's problem knee successfully; good with patella problems
Speaker at 2018 ICJR workshop on problem hips and knees
Thank you all, I am going to see if my insurance will let me go up north to the Mayo Clinic. I really would like to fix it. Right now I am taking care of my husband who has Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer and I am finding that stress is making my whole body hurt and especially my bad knee. Again thank you so much for all the advice and chats it means a lot
