I'm sorry perks,

It's weird to have stitches removed these days. With my TKR, both the knee capsule and the incision were closed with invisible, dissolvable stitches. There was no stitch removal.

If you have to redo this, I'd suggest looking for a surgeon in his or her late 30s, early 40s, with experience using the Mako robotic assistant. That's what I did for my TKRs and they came out very well.

But something is wrong if you 1) had no post-op pt scheduled and 2) the stitches had to be removed.

I wish you the best and I'm truly sorry for what you're going through. Please let me know if you have other questions. (You might check with an attorney as well. PT should have been prescribed and is critical to recovery.)
