I have had 3 surgeries now with the 3rd one being the spacer. my knee always buckles, but am vey reluctant to get another surgery. I almost had a mental breakdown with the last one because it was one thing after another continuously. Ha anyone else had this issue? any thoughts Orr suggestions or advice on which way to turn next?

Any updates? I know I am responding late in the game. I had tkr revision in January 2025. I had an articulating antibiotic spacer. My knee is buckling on me. I am still in PT. While walking with my csne last week it gave way, and had it not been for my cane, I would have fallen. PT did balance test today. I am concerned. He said buckling isn't due to spacer.
