Same here. 13 months post surgery. Pain swelling of patellar tendon. Clicking. OS has dismissed me

I wish I could give you some positive input but I share your story. My left knee, like yours, has been making loud clunking sounds for more than six years. A revision eleven months ago made no change. I get the feeling that surgeons give it their best shot but can't always predict the outcome. Prior to having my right knee replaced, I asked my surgeon "will it also click," and he said "probably." Four years this January, and no clicking.
I have no evidence but it would make sense that clicking will shorten the life of the components that make the sound. Hang in there.
