From day one Post Op TKR I feel 3 very distinct clunks or catches.

So it felt like successive clunks? Grinding feeling with them all firing one after another? That would be nice. The incision does go right over the patella.. Maybe as the scar tissue breaks down it will start tracking smoothly if indeed it is the issue. A simple outpatient procedure to trim the scar tissue would be much nicer than a revision.. Did yours happen from day one or after time? Thanks for your reply.. A spark of hope..

Mine was a revision to my initial knee replacement. It started clunking within 2 weeks. It was unnerving to say the least. I just remember saying to my husband, "My knee is clunking. It is so weird but truly, it is clunking." Then to go to the surgeon and tell him, "It is clunking. I know it sounds weird but it is clunking." The surgeon knew immediately what it was and scheduled me for the outpatient procedure. Easiest ortho surgery ever. Good luck!
