Revision surgery

Posted , 1 user is following.

No benefit from TKR done 5 years ago - instead a detrimental effect on my general health- the difference in gait giving me a lot of back problems and of course not being able to walk properly - now I'm booked for revision to have it replaced as xrays show although its fine in length it doesn't bend so therefore it is unstable - any questions I should ask beforehand?
