TKR Arthroscopic Surgery after TKR to Release Popliteus.

[Ghostpipe]

Well done for diagnosing your problem, and pushing to get it sorted! Just goes to show how valuable this forum can be for so many people. Do so hope that you are continuing to see improvement in your flexion, although it’s pretty good now, and the main thing is to be pain free and get on with what you want to do.
The getting out of the car bit got me smiling, that is one of my goals. Whenever I park anywhere, I have to make sure that I am at the end of a row and can open the door fully. I always end up having to get out into a flower bed or bush!

Hi Rain Dancer, I know that this post was a long time ago but I’m looking at having the same surgery that you had in a few days. I was wondering if you are still doing well with the popliteus release and if you had any stability issues after the surgery? I’m just really scared to have someone go into my knee again. I am 22 months out from a TKR on my right knee.

Hi and Welcome to Bonesmart. I agree it’s scary to have another surgery. I’m guessing things might not be great with that TKR?
