So you had what is called a cruciate retaining implant. The PCL being the retained is the cruciate. Have you and your doctor considered an MRI to take a look at the tendon and the PCL?

@steveinarizona I've not had a "cruciate retaining implant". I've had bilateral total knee replacement surgeries that involved removal of my ACLs and that also resulted in an impingement of the popliteal tendon behind one knee. I've subsequently had an MRI of both knees, but the MRI images are unreadable due to the blackening artifact caused by the metal prostheses.
