does anyone know how many knee replacements a person can have?

Debbra/Win Sturgeon: I remember reading a post from someone who underwent at least 4 TKR sugeries, I believe 2 revisions on the same knee. Read it sometime in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Have been hunting for that post, no luck so far. Perhaps someone else saw it and remembers under what heading it was posted. But it definitely sounded like 2 TKR’s or even revisions are not the pre-cursor to amputation.

If you access this information regarding 2-3 TKR revisions not resulting in an amputation, please advise.
I’ve endured 3 knee surgeries, & the third being a TKR, which didn’t work out at all! I’m so limited with ambulation or just sitting for short periods of time due to the severe flexion contracture & constant pain.
My 4th knee surgery would be an amputation & I just cannot accept that this type of surgery should be the end result from my original knee injury in 2006, which was a patella dislocation.
Modern medicine???
