Spacer replacement 4 years after TKR
Joint Replacements | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (36)Comment receiving replies
I too have severe thumping when swinging the knee back and forth. As you stated, my surgeon said the spacers could be replaced, but at this point (3 years out) I am not if a mind to do the procedure. The pain isn’t so bad that I can’t take it. I just tell people that my Tyrods need replacing. Good luck.

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.
