Has anyone had surgery to replace the implant cushion?

Posted by leeanns @leeanns, 12 hours ago

After 3.5 yrs of considerable discomfort with both knees (TKR for both done at the same time) an orthopedic specialist is recommending that I do the surgery to replace the implant cushion with a thicker one to correctly tension ligaments and tendons. Both knees are unstable which causes pain and soft tissue tightness and swelling as knees try to compensate for instability. I will only do one knee at a time this time, learned my lesson!
So I am looking for feedback from anyone who has done this surgery. Thanks!
