I saw surgeon for 1 year follow up. I had both knees done Dec 2019. Right is great, not normal but I’m happy. Left had the tightness with even minor bending. I can get a bend in it but it’s painful and it does not bend as well as right knee. Surgeon said it is scar tissue, not IT band. Would need manipulation under anesthesia to correct. 80 percent success rate. Will have bruising and swelling after and more PT. This tightness effects turning with sleep, getting in and out of cats and climbing steps, etc. I plan to do it after I’m fully vaccinated.
