Well, same surgeon did my TKR. 26 mo po Wrong size replacement and was done robotically! Not a revision candidate. Harvard trained. The greatest in the area, a leader in this area. In his mid 40’s. Had a following now there is a gag order from his former office. Tying to open on his own and on FB trying to find his past patients.

My criteria for a surgeon worked well for me, but are certainly not foolproof. There is no excuse for placing a prosthesis that doesn't fit. My surgeon explained that the prosthesis should not go past the surface of the bone. That is, there should be a small space between the edge of the bone and the edge of the prosthesis. This can be seen clearly on the X-rays.
My TKR was also done with the Stryker/Mako robotic assistant. I'm very sorry about what you are going through.
