Can the Jiffy Knee be done for a knee revision?
I had a partial knee replacement done four years ago. The hardware has not failed, but I've had nothing but problems with the tissue swelling and pain. Had a scope done a year later and the meniscus was cleaned up. I now am having a knee revision done with a total replacement. There's no information I can find if the Jiffy Knee can be performed for a revision. The surgeon I spoke to said they do it all the time. However, I'm getting very nervous that this technique won't allow a full visualization of what they need to remove the old hardware and install new. It's a much longer surgery and more involved for a revision. Anyone had it done for a revision?
