Cannot Passively Hold Full Extension After TKR

Is this the same surgeon who did your TKR? Sometimes feces just happens but I would want to be convinced that it was not his fault before going into a revision with him.

I think you want an opinion from an experienced and skilled revision surgeon. Don't say that you think your surgeon screwed up; you just want to know if she thinks a revision would work and the risks and benefits of doing it.

@steveinarizona
Yes I just had a consult done with a surgeon outside the network that my surgeon is in and they wouldn’t come out and say directly any percentages as to effectiveness. However, they gave me the impression that my chances of it improving and the chances of it making it worse are about the same.
Not quite the odds that I make me want to give it a try. I have another consult next week so trying to get all the feedback I can before I make a final decision.

I appreciate your input.
Thank you!
