Foot neuropathy (numbness and pain) after total knee replacement (TKR)

There is no single ligament that holds the knee in place. There major ligaments and tendons are on the outside and inside of the knee, there is a patellar tendon, and there are two ligaments inside the knee that should have been removed during knee replacement.
If you think you actually tore a tendon or ligament, please get to the Dr. asap. That is very serious and likely requires surgery to repair.

I did tear it actually shredded it because where I was staying I had in house physio twice a day. I banged my knee 3 weeks in and couldn’t get ANYONE to believe me not even the drs there! So I did 7 weeks of physio with a shredded tendon. I couldn’t lift my left leg in physio, my kneecap was off to the side! Two weeks after my surgeon visit lol he told me it was coming along. Saw my physiotherapist a day later and he said get back to surgeon ASAP. 2 weeks later I was in surgery again for a tr my tendon tear. He said it was actually shredded. After that 14 1/2 weeks in a brace that went from my crotch to my ankle. No weight baring. Had to sit on my ass and do nothing! I’m paying for that with severe back pain. I can’t stand for more than 10 mins then have to sit down. Back in physio but not going well because of all my back pain.
