1. It was the correct spacer size at the time of the surgery, but as time went by the spacer became too small with the ligaments and tendons stretching.
2. Yes you can especially if your surgeon thinks it needs to be done.
3. Your knee will become unstable and you will be more than likely fall due to knee no longer being stable.
