i had a left tkr approx 4 months ago in france (am based in uk). rehab was going very well and then approx 5 weeks ago i was walkibg uo the stairs and there was a big crunch at the front of my knee.

Since then i have had alot of constant pain, struggle to go up and down stairs unaided and cannot do straight leg raises.

Spent a day or so in A and E and the consultant was very unhelpful - see you in six months!

have since researched and spoken to surgeon in france - it seems i have an issue with the popliteal tendon and from what i can gather, you can have a procedure to release this.

Has anybody heard of this or had the same issue?

thanks
