Hello @salliesallie - I combined your recent discussions with an existing discussion titled, "Knee Hyperextension After TKR" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/knee-hyperextension-after-tkr/.

I did this so you could meet @brendaem and @csforrester99 who both talked about having the same issue after their TKR. They may be able to provide an update on what they learned and where they have come since first posting about the issue.

@salliesallie - with hyperextension being an issue, how are you doing with walking? Are you able to walk, or do you have to do so carefully? Is your knee "stuck" in the extension or does a particular movement trigger the issue?

Hello Justin, First let me thank you for reaching out to me. In answer to your questions...I am able to walk with the aid of a rotator due to damaged nerves that control balance following a very extensive cervical surgery in 2020. My knee does not get stuck in the extension...it happens when I put my weight on my leg when walking or standing. BTW, I am a 85 yo female, 5' 3", 123 lbs. I try not to let it hyperextend when I am walking but that is not working very well.
I will sincerely appreciate any information that you can direct me to.
