Replacement Knee's

[Yoder]

My dad had both his knees replaced. The problem I see is there's no lateral movement. Just a hinge, front to back. He doesn't have pain but he really struggles walking on uneven ground. He is 75, over weight and not very active so maybe it will work out better for you.

My father had both done at once and hated that he had done it. PT was much, much harder. After seeing his struggle, I would do 1 at a time.

@Bighorse feel free to send pm and we can then connect. Not to scare anyone doing tkr. I was rolling good in April of last year, went shed hunting and knee swole. I’m like FK had not had any swelling for a long time. Called my surgeon, who is one of my elk hunting friends. Had him test it and was much looser than should be. 8 weeks later in for a revision. They found the spacer had failed at 23 months. This was highly unusual, so they put in a larger spacer 6/25 and was good in about 10 weeks.

By larger do you mean thicker? If so, does it throw you off a bit? What’s your gait like now?
