I did not have a TKR. I had surgery for left knee dislocation allograft, torn ligaments on all except LCL and internal brace on April 12th. This is the hardest thing I have gone thru.

I am new. I did not have a TKR but had surgery on my left knee for dislocation. All ligaments torn except LCL, internal brace and allograft.
I know this has been the hardest thing I have gone thru and I feel like it consumes me.

I am the opposite. I have 60 degree flexion and extension is 0. Sometimes it is very difficult to try and bend my knee.
