I don't agree ouch, with all respect. I believe that a significant % of TKRs result in bad outcomes because patient don't do their part and blame the surgeon, hospital, OR staff, etc. - and then come and post here.

I still think this is a small minority of all TKRs. However the vast majority of people with bad outcomes will post on forums like this. Human nature I guess. Reading through this forum over the last 3 years, I see very little evidence of what you claim to see. There are many, many negative reviews of TKRs. I don't doubt you. I just don't see what you're seeing. You wrote "negative reviews are never seen". Not on this forum.

We have different views on the medical community. It's wonderful seeing all those happy TKR patients limping around with their canes. We, the doctor and I, went forward with my revision TKR when I pointed out the issue with the X-Ray. I pointed out the misalignment that he didn't see, or acknowledge. Please don't reply!
