Has anyone had TKR at age 86?

Posted by kellihergirl @kellihergirl, Aug 14 9:17am

Would like to read some success stories and/or difficult experiences about TKR for older people like me. I am 86 and planning TKR in 6-8 months. Would like to hear from someone who had this surgery who is this old.

Get a copy of the PT exercises you will have to do after your TKR and donthem several times a day BEFORE surgery. Whatever your age that will be key to having a successful experience.
