knee revision after original TKR done in July 2009

[Guest guest]

I doubt I would let the same doctor operate again if the first one isn't any

good.

-- knee revision after original TKR done in

July 2009

Hi everyone hope everyone is doing good. I was told Fri I need a revision on

the TKR which was done July 2009. I also need a TKR on the other knee before

the revision. I have severe pain and alot of swelling and alot of stiffness

in the knee replaced. I am very sad about the whole problem. I have always

had problems with the knee that has been replaced. No good range of motion.

Any suggestions? Any help woi;d help. Thanks

Miriam, you had good reason to do the knee again as it fell to pieces.

Although I think that's very unusual for an implant to fall to pieces. But

what I gathered from ,

Her problem was swelling and stiffness. Its not a good reason to remove a

joint.

I am glad you got yours sorted out by someone who knew what they were doing,

I was concerned as if 's is due to improper placement, then its likely

its going to happen again.

Hi

I had failed TKR in 2008. The implant just fell into pieces before I even

recovered from the anaesthetic. That causes a lot of pain because bits are

floating around in your leg.

Then Ihad revision TKR. supposedly a top surgeon in Israel, didn't do the

correct operation and didn't use the correct implant for revision TKR.

Another 6 months of pain.In all 29 months of hopping on one leg.

I live in Israel. Fortunately I had insurance and a very good agent and I

had a second revision TKR done at HSS by Dr. Bostrom.

I am now walking instead of hopping on one leg.

Don't use the same surgeon that messed up the job the first time and sue the

....

The fact that the knee is warmer is usual, it's the metal of the implant

which heats more than bone.

If you canget to HSS do.

Good Luck

Miriam
