Hi perhaps I should explain why I had my TKR. two years ago i was involved with a dog attacking mine.It was a great dane,and it tossed me in the air.My lower bone was split and shattered,so I was in a cast for 7 months.Started to walk then found it had damaged my knee.So had TKR. thats why i have little or no muscle.I have to use my crutches most of the time,because my knee keeps giving way.

    I didn't have a dog attack me and I've had 11 PT sessions and my knee is still weak and I use a crutch if it starts to feel wobbley.  To have such trauma, you should be able to be given PT for as long as it takes to bring the muscles back !  Best wishes !
