I’m considering a revision. Why did you have a revision, what was the recovery from it like and are you happy with the result? Also, who did your revision? Was it the same surgeon who did your original TKR?

I had revision and it was very difficult to say the least. I had no choice since the glue had not taken and the original tkr was actually bowing inside my body. BUT the revision knee is very large and I'm told in ten years (which is now 7 and a half) I will need a revision of the revision. Since the units are larger they don't last as long. I have since had tkr on the other knee and also am reminded everyday by my knees that I had the surgeries. Going back, I'm not sure I would have had the surgeries at all. Although I need to remember I was bone on bone and that was painful for sure. It's a tough road. Wish all the best of luck.

My revision was amazing that over stuffed feeling was gone … I woke up with no pain …. I did have another dr . My original dr said nothing was wrong with knee….when I went for second opinion that dr told me was to big …. I am glad I had it done recovery for me was not to bad …unfortunately I still struggle due to damage and scar tissue having wrong size in there for a year ….. but the revision has given me more flexion …. Can’t say has taken all may pain away or given me 125 like a lot of people but I better than 65 that is where I was before revision …so glad I did revision…hope this helps ….good luck to you
