Hi there, I am laying in the hospital bed now after having three full take on right knee and one revision today to replace the plastic from 22 mm to 24 mm. Last take was 10/22, constant swelling, pain 24/7….constant draining of fluid 5-6 syringes.
Surgery lasted 48 minutes, not invasive at all, knee not so swollen at all so far.
This larger plastic is supposed to not let the body produce so much fluid as per the Dr. He claims he has done this before many times and so far it has worked w other patients.
I feel good about this decision to have had it done.
Go for ur larger plastic if u have to, good luck.
I’m in N. Ga.
