Evenity joint replacement

Posted by jft @jft, Sep 28, 2023

I am 70 and due for my third evenity injection. My average T score is -3.86. It is -4+ at my femoral head. My knee total replacement is only six years old. The hardware is coming apart. I need a tibial resection. Since that single piece of hardware is likely unavailable, it will probably be another total knee replacement. Has anyone had experience with joint replacement surgery while on evenity shots?

Yes. I had a total hip replacement while on Evenity.
The surgeon said that was fine and i guess it was. No problems.

I need to take Tymlos for some months to get a hip replacement and will need to continue until I have taken the whole two year course of treatment. Instead of interfering from my recovery, it will supposedly facilitate it. Evenity might be even better,

My knee replacement surgery is coming up in three weeks and I have my next Evenity 6 days before the surgery. I was told it would be okay to have my shots. After reading this I’m going to ask again to be sure. Thank you.
