@skybig Thank you for your feedback; I truly appreciate it. I find it wonderful when people, like you, take their time to help.
I am going back to see my surgeon. I realize I don’t even know the brand of the hinged knee I got nor has the surgeon explained the why of what is going on. I do have quite a bit of swelling and fluid three years after the revision. Last year I had surgery in order to repair a muscle that partially tore after my knee buckled, as I was turning around. It’s been a nightmare. I need to find a competent surgeon in Miami that is unassociated with the Baptist Hospital group. My surgeries have been in their Orthopedic Sports Clinic which is regarded as the best in Florida. My surgeon is a revision specialist so I’m at a loss as to where to go or whom to see.

The Hospital for Special Surgery has a branch in West Palm Beach. That is where Dr. Martin Roche performed a partial knee replacement for Lindsey Vonn. HSS is also the leading orthopedic hospital in the country.

If you want to stay int he Miami area, this is where I would go.
