What doctors are knee ligament specialists?

One thing to consider is that not all orthopedic surgeons do joint revisions. Look specifically for a joint revision specialist who can explain to you exactly why the doc feels you have loose ligaments. A good workup by my revision specialist led me to wait to replace my knee again. It has been tough but glad I waited.

Does anyone have experience with knee revision surgery - looking for second opinion before proceeding?

My wife had knee replacement surgery nearly 2 years ago, and it still is unstable.

She is a slender active person who everyone thought would be an excellent candidate for knee replacement.

Now the same doctor recommends revision total knee arthroplasty surgery.

We know many people who have had successful knee replacements, but no one who has had revision surgery.
