I have posted your xray in our staff area for other staff members to take a look.The doctor say it is perfectly placed. From the X ray I feel it placed too far right, as compare to center. I feel the patella maltrack since day 1, it is really painful and tight at the left.
Really helpless, it should not be like this. Any comments on X ray ?
Hello cantel. I am 5 days RTKR I had a LTKR 18 months ago. My brain does not recall the pain from the LTKR. My kids assure me I did experience pain and I'm sure I did, just can't remember how it felt or how I felt. I hope your mind will eventually remove the memory of your pain.Thanks, it is really a life changing experience. The weird pain and feeling is something that I will never forget, it is really scary.
Thanks for encouraging me
Yes, but you need a machine with a certain setting that can work with the implant.Can I have MRI with implant ?
You can't really tell from this X-Ray, because it isn't taken straight on. As a result, the hardware looks skewed, but it probably is not.Refer to the attachment, I feel the implant is not placed correctly.
It has only been about 2 months since you had this surgery. The end of your bone was sawed and drilled and an object of some kind of metal was forced into the bone. Healing from something like this takes a very long, slow time. Pain is to be expected for a while, as your body heals from this surgery.I have pain whenever I straighten my leg in full only.
Can you describe this better? I don’t understand what you mean by contact pain.My concern pain come from contact pain. Not the gerenal surgery recovery pain.
Tightness pain/discomfort is a normal occurrence after this kind of major surgery. Your surgeon did major carpentry work and disturbed every millimeter of soft tissue in this area. You aren't tight because your muscle is underused and needs to be stretched and rehabbed. You're tight because your tissue is healing...and full healing takes a full year or more.Or other tissue problem ?
