On the CT scan, it clearly showed a gap between my patella and the plastic button. The thing I’m most upset about is the lousy job the first surgeon did. The patella button was too small, so bone was protruding over the button causing an impingement. However, that wasn’t the only problem: the other plastic component on my tibia was too small also, and my knee was not aligned correctly. The second surgery was performed properly. The patella button was enlarged, the other plastic component was enlarged, and there was a post placed between my femur and tibia components. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to finally have that excruciating pain over with.
I don’t know how to look at your profile picture, sorry.
