My problem is severe Arthrofibrosis (scarring). My immune system has reacted to my 3 knee surgeries, aimed at removing scar tissue, by laying down even more. I will , most likely agree to the hinged revision. I have been waiting several months for my appointment, which is next Monday. Here is an article about hinged replacements for my condition.

I would be interested in hearing from any one who has Immunotherapy to calm down their body’s immune system. Good luck!!!

Thank you for the link. It looks very interesting. I have an upcoming appointment with my femur surgeon who is v ery approachable and I will also bring up the subject of Immunotherapy with her. I would like to know how your upcoming appointment goes.
