I def understand what you’re going thru. I’m 51 and have had a TKA on both knees and also a quad tendon rupture and repair. My doctor hasn’t provided rhyme or reason. I tend to fall a ton n he is saying it’s my fault that it failed. I repeatedly told him I am fall risk. Of course he didn’t or hasn’t listened. I’m wondering why this is happening. First of all it’s a very rare occurrence and secondly the success rate of a repair I believe is less than 5% in all TKA patients.. I’m so desperate to just be able to get on the floor with my new grandbaby. I can’t do it! I just want facts . Also I continually contact my surgeon with my symptoms and he says… that’s normal. I really hope you get answers as well. This is just crazy🥹🥹
