Hello! Yes, I had patellar clunk syndrome that developed at about 4 months post op. At 7 months post op it had not changed at all and I had arthroscopic surgery for lysis of the adhesions at the recommendation of my surgeon. I am now 3 weeks post op. The surgery was much more than I anticipated and I am dealing with a lot of swelling and pain. I cannot tell yet whether the clunk has been relieved because I can’t do the things that made the clunk happen previously- mostly stair climbing. I hope that helps!

Hi Dearborn. Me again. Just checking back to see if your surgery to resolve your knee clunking worked. I had arthroscopy 2 weeks ago (14 months after TKR) due to persistent clunking. And although I had to s of scar tissue removed. It did not help the bothersome hard clunking so I'm very disappointed. Now my doc is saying it may be due to maltracking of the patellar button moving thru the groove of the femur.
