TKR Extruded cement left in knee, causing problems.

I’m now nearly 10 months PO. A local 3rd opinion notes that along with the chunk of cement, the femur implant too big, spacer too small, that original surgeon “raised the joint line”, that my knee has play in it and the kneecap pain might be helped by fixing that. I wish I’d never had this surgery done. So, thankfully, after all of this, I did get accepted for an appointment at Mayo! I have 3 differing opinions in my town, so, who do you trust? I’m hoping Mayo can shed some light on the best course of action!

Wishing you all the best as you go to Mayo Clinic……..one of the BEST!!! I had TKR two years ago but before the surgery, I was tested for any allergies to any “ingredients” in the replacement, along with the bone cement. They discovered that I had a high allergy to nickel so my surgeon used a replacement without nickel. You are wise to get an appointment at Mayo Clinic!!! I had terrible pain after this surgery for a very long time and became depressed. After two years, my knee is finally pain free, but I still cannot kneel down or do any exercises that require kneeling. My left knee really needs replacing, but I am not going to do it. I am just going to live with it. All of my best wishes to you with your appointment with Mayo Clinic. You will be in excellent hands!!! Mary Ann from Boston
