Thanks EZAS123. Do I understand you correctly that you had a have a full TKR replacement second time around as opposed to only a spacer replacement?
Who did your revision surgery and where?
I had my original tkr Nov 2020, nothing but huge problems. Switched Drs. Had a liner exchange July 2021, worsened symptoms. Had a full revision July 2022 with now severe issues ever since immediately after the surgery - severe impingement symptoms. Had a CT done and the facility had the nerve to cut off all the imaging distally beyond the bottom of the femur. If that doesn't tell you something I don't know what does. I'm young - ish. Seeking help and could use your input from your experience and who you ultimately had help you please.
