5.5 Wks post-op--and the lower part is from my old open reduction/int. fixation tibial plateau repair ca. 1996. The voyeur at the top of the photo is my senior kitty Matthew (age 16)
Well, here is my LTKR at 4 weeks one day. I am going to have to tease the surgeon. It was his first day back after a vacation and I think he could have done a better job on a straighter incision line. Have my other knee up there to show the difference.
Weeks 1 - 10.
Have been happy with my scar right from the start - it's been the best bit about the whole TKR thing! Massaged it every day from week 2 with Sweet Almond Oil, no evidence that it's good for scar reduction but it feels nice.
Now the check x-ray from week 16 and todays pics. Actually it's quite therapeutic looking back at these pics & am feeling grateful for an uncomplicated recovery.
