So I’m having a similar situation. However, I find when I bend my knee it’s painful. And also, I can move like the joint from side to side. You can hear the clicking it pops all the time when I’m walking. Trying to decide if I should have the spacer fixed, I too like you don’t wanna have surgeries needlessly. I just wonder if it’s worth getting fixed
Thank you for sharing. I'd like to tighten my knee's "tie rod" as well. A surgeon did tell me that decades down the road there will undoubtedly be an easier way to address this need to tighten the lateral play in some tkr patients such as us. Bring on the future.
