Toe out

Posted by kesrel @kesrel, Mar 14, 2019

Anybody else had toe out after a total knee replacement? My operated knee is at 2 o'clock when walking whilst my non operated knee is pretty straight. I'm now two months post op. I'm not sure how common this is with a tkr. and wondering if it's likely to cause problems with future wear and tear? PT said to try and walk with foot straight but I've found that nearly impossible.

Yes. I toe-outbwhen walking ever since TKR. BUT only when barefooted or kn the wrong shoes. When I wear my Merrell hiking sneakers, I am able to keep my toes straight ahead. I think it has to do with the way the shoe is constructed, with an arch that fits me well.
