Ligament instability after TKR?

Hello, I also had an ultrasound and they found the fabella bone. I see this post is over two years old, but wondering how you are doing today. Was the surgery complicated? Thanks.

I don't know how complicated it was for the surgeons but for me it was easy. I was immediately pain free after the surgery. I only wish that a doctor had looked for this sooner. I spent many months with only a few hours of sleep at night. I am so glad that I went to a different clinic and found a doctor who was able to identify a fabella bone on an ultrasound.
The knee orthopedist who I saw did have his partner do the surgery and he assisted. I can't recall the reason. It could have just been that the one doctor had had experience removing this bone before.
Are you scheduled for surgery?
