allergic reaction to bone cement

Hi, I'm so sorry you went through what I went through exactly. Including being blown off by my surgeon in Vail. I too, am allergic to the bone cement. The other option- call Dr Mark Tuttle at PSL hosp in Denver. There is a device called a press fit, the bone grows into the device and cement isn't needed, 6 wks on crutches while it grows into the TKR. You don't say where you live, but I imagine every large city has this option, it isn't a new method. I am 100% fine now, biking, hiking, doing yoga. Let us know how you are. It will be alright!

Hello, this is Irish283, I spoke with the last Dr. who recommended I get allergy testing. Explained all my concerns. He said that he could do it, but my concern is that if he opens my knee up and there is a problem with my bone…the no press fit surgery! Then I am literally without a leg to stand on! Then what do I do? My P.T. Is concerned as well. There really isn’t a safe answer.

Hello. I live in Denver and had TKR in March 2020. Have total extension and flexing but knee always ached, swelled, hot. Had 2 aspirations from knee- both brought out 30cc BLOOD. Have seen 4 docs- Denver and Vail- told normal and wait until 1 year. Waited- no relief. Just had allergy tests- yep allergic to methacrylates- bone glue. Told to take antihistamines. Any other suggestions?
