I had TKA four years ago and immediately developed a condition called spongy foot. The condition is generally caused by a pinched nerve in the treated leg. Can it be repaired?

Welcome @jcdoecke, Sorry to hear you developed a spongy foot after your TKA four years ago. I saw this article from 2020 that you might find helpful.
"Mayo Clinic is investigating infrapatellar saphenous nerve neuroma as a source of pain after total knee arthroplasty."

There is also another discussion that you might find helpful here:

Do you have pain along with the spongy feeling?
