Help! I had a tkr 18 months ago and ever since my range has been an issue. Hardly 90 degrees. I can not walk down steps, getting down on the floor I have to straighten my leg completely and when walking alot it just stiffens up. Lifting my leg back up towards my butt bending it at the knee I'm lucky to get it 5 inches off the ground. It just doesn not bend. I have visited two doctors and both have pointed at the femoral component being to large. My question is, has anyone ever had this issue? Has anyone ever heard of this. If so has anyone ever gone in for reconstructive surgery to correct the issue? Any pros or cons? I'm looking for advice at this point to help me weight the odds and make the proper decision for myself. Thanks.
