I had TKR in Sept 2024. I am experiencing severe hyper extension. I’m using a knee brace that helps prevent the hyperextension. I’ve had 10 months of pt and 4 months of strength building of the knee. I’m considering revision surgery to put in a thicker spacer.
What are your thoughts on undergoing this procedure.
I’m 80 and in good shape.

Hi,
I had insert replacement for instability. My only comment is that the revision surgery for the replacement was much less invasive than the full TKR and the rehab was quick and easy.
Good luck.
