I also had a revision of my left knee in 2003. Everything went great. The reason why they want to fuse it now is I need another knee that would be the third one and they said there isn’t enough bone there to create or put in another knee so we can try to put a knee in, but it might not work so the next thing to do is to fuse it or amputate it. What an option so I haven’t done anything yet. I’m still thinking about it. My primary doctor said if you don’t have any pain, why have surgery but the doctor said I have a lot of bone loss and it might break , they’re worried about breakage . I don’t know what to do. I also have neuropathy in feet and legs and hands. I don’t feel much pain so we’ll see. They said if it’s really bad when they get in there, they confuse it sounds like blue is having a hard time getting around with her fuse knee and that’s what I was thinking about, how to get around please let me know if you have anything to say about fusion thank you

Fused knee is painless. But your legs will be of unequal length. That is essential because you wouldn't be able to swing your fused leg through when walking if it weren't shorter than your more normal leg. Sitting and standing as well as walking will be additional strain on your back and hip. This will result in arthritic pain as the years go by. ...55 years with one fused knee.
