Scar tissue after knee replacement

Has anyone mentioned you may have the wrong fit? I had a revision 3 months ago after a year and one half of misery, pain, limp etc. I also did extensive PT, hoping it would be better and also I was told my problem was scar tissue and given exercises for that.
My revision doctor thought probably my fit was wrong and that was the problem plus tibia was slightly crooked and had to be filed down. Minimal scar tissue but he removed it as well.
I don’t know if any of this is helpful but I feel the revision was worth it, best of luck

@bevinauburn poor fit can definitely be a problem. The typical TKR uses an “off the shelf” knee, whereas newer technologies create images of the natural knee and the new knee is built to match the original. This was why I chose Conformis, but I think there are other custom knees. I am very happy with my knee, it’s been great.
