No cartilage left in knees

Hi Marcia,

I'm shocked that your surgeon would green light tennis after a TKR. My surgeon told me to not participate in sports resulting in impact to the knee - so no running, no court sports. On top of impact, tennis puts a lot of lateral stress on the knee.

And I'd get a second opinion on what to do. Did your Dr even take an Xray? There are ortho surgeons who specialize in what is called "revision" knee replacement surgery. I'd seek one of these surgeons out.

All the best to you. FWIW I'd stay away from court sports, even pickleball. Joe

My surgeon told me the same thing - no running, jogging, tennis, soccer, etc. Nothing that would result in impacting the knee. My sport is dancing (repetitive movement, stable knee). I agree with you that it doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion from a surgeon who specializes in revision total knee replacement.
