TKR is a gamble

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!

I'll always reply to a misleading post. People shouldn't be unnecessarily scared by a conspiracy theory about TKR Drs, and a ridiculous statement about "all those happy TKR patients limping around with their canes". That kind of statement is irresponsible. I used a walker for the first week after surgery, a cane for the second one, and then I threw them away. You did get the happy part right though.

You're taking your experience and applying it to all TKRs that ever have been and ever will be performed. Sorry you had a bad surgeon. You are an exception.

Finally, if you're surgeon made such a mistake, why would you use him or her for the revision?

There are way too many inconsistencies in your comments to take them seriously, if they happened at all. I guess trolls can be found everywhere.

And I'll repeat something, it's on the patient to find a surgeon and do the work necessary post-op.
