very interesting. I have osteoporosis and have met with 4 surgeons. Not one has addressed how it influences TKR outcomes. I have asked and they say we can work with that.
Your comment “He told me that part of my long surgery was the fact that more bone was removed due to osteoporosis and more metal used on both top and bottom of knee replacement”. They like to get you into surgery, but don’t really know how bad the osteoporosis is till you are under the knife.

I think what you say is true about osteoporosis. What I was told was that if you do have osteoporosis, the implant will be cemented in place. The reason is that the bone is unlikely to bond with the metal. All the best to you. Joe
