I have been scheduled for TKR Aug 5th. I went to an appointment today for what I thought was a pre op appointment. The PA told me that the surgeon would realy like me to wait for new technology in knee resurfacing, possible 5 years. He said since I was a "highly functional" patient with arthritis. Yes I can do many things but with extreme pain. They want me to just have it scoped for now to remove a loose body. Here is my mri Diagnosis:
1. Abnormal lateral menicus including the absence of posterior horn and body.2. tricompartment osteoarthritic degenerative changes and chondromalacia. Most notabley the paterllofemoral and lateral compartments. 3. 11 mm osteochondral loose body within the lateral aspect of the suprapatellar recess. There is extension of the suprapatellar recess into the prepatellar soft tissues( likely communicating with the prepatellar bura)4. Baker cyst.
Just dont know what to do now. Im a 43 yr old male.
