Hi, I had a revision for my total knee replacement and it's been four months and I have the same thing as the swelling has gone down visible row of bumps around the inside of my knee. I saw my surgeon again. He thinks they might be undissolved internal sutures. was wondering if yours had resolved. I think they're causing some complications in my recovery and our kind of painful.

I had my 1 year TKR appt. with my surgeon. I told him about the round things at the left of mu knee that felt like small bones, it was that hard. He felt and said they were 3 satures there and he could remove them easily now or in a year if I wanted to. They do hurt at times but I was surprised at how hard they felt. I guess they could be left in but don’t know. He sounded like it was no big deal to remove them! I just dread having to cut the knee!
