Hi @george12345,

I combined your discussion with an existing discussion titled:

- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/spacer-replacement-4-years-after-tkr/

This discussion is a bit lengthy but there are many members discussing spacers after their knee replacement. @jerseygirl21, @eprovostva, and @cedarrose all discussed getting or needing a spacer and may be able to share their experience with you as well.

@george12345, are you experiencing some bone loss around your TKR?
