Swelling and stiffness, 3 years after total knee replacement

Well, I found out that the doctor that does the Conformis knee takes my insurance, so I made an appointment for the 14th this month. It seems they have diagnostic facilities there too. I said I wanted to come in for issues with my current TKR, and future one. He is only one in my area that does this. His reviews from patients were very good, but he’s only been in practice for six years. Also, somewhere it said he had one malpractice suit that was settled. I can’t seem to find out more information on that. My pain doctor gave me referral for doc with only 2 years, so forget that. I got one more recommended Ortho, and info. said he does revisions also , (not necessarily his own work).
I’m so scared and confused right now.

@bengalady I would be confused too. I doubt that a revision can be done with a Conformis knee since it is made to mimic your natural knee. You might want to check on that if you are choosing that doctor be he does the Conformis knee.
I hope you can find our about the malpractice suit too, that would put your mind at ease. Six years is a pretty good amount of experience probably, that would not put me off if he has good reviews, and there are multiple reviews. I never rely on reviews unless there are a good number of them, either good or bad.
It sounds as if you are researching well, I think that is key.
