Hi Everyone

I had a partial knee replacement done 11 weeks ago now and I still need a crutch to walk as my knee isnt stable and will jerk backwards or forwards. I can bend it ok.

Is this normal ? Does anyone or has anyone had or have this issue ?.

    I am 3-weeks post op (partial done - patellofemoral). I get that feeling with my knee as if it is actually bending back the wrong way, like it has jerked into that position, but I think it is just going completely straight and not actually going backwards, although it feels like it is. Have you had a physio opinion or a consultant follow up?

    My NHS physio is somewhat limited but private physio won't see me until 6 weeks post op so I have booked to see someone then in case I am not where i want to be in my recovery.
