Hi @blkhwkfxer831, you might find some helpful information in these related discussions:
- Need TKR and had positive allergy testing / Bone Cement and Metals: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/need-tkr-and-had-positive-allergy-testing-bone-cement-and-metals/ --- Severe metal allergy to titanium, nickel need joint replacement: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/severe-allergy-to-titanium-nickel-need-tkr-in-severe-pain/

From the pictures you attached, have you already had a knee replacement with titanium parts? Are you planning a revision with plastics or ceramic?

Yes, my doctor is at a loss what to do since I developed an allergy to titanium. l just found out that l was allergic to the metal since my TKR in 07/28/2020.
