I have been diagnosed as needing a second revision surgery after the first two femoral prosthesis loosened. In each case the problems were diagnosed at the three year follow-up but the symptoms of pain, swelling and poor range of motion had existed long before that. Before the initial revision surgery the implant was loosening from the lateral condyle. This time it Is loosening from both condyles. Is there a surgical technique that involves additional methods to attach the implant beyond the cementing and the "rod" that was attached during my distribution procedure?
