Hi everyone, I just found out on Friday that I have to have a knee revision. For those out there who have been through this could you give me some advice? Is it similar to the knee replacement? How about healing time? How long did it take before you could walk? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanking you!!!

You'll now be 7 behind me. Revisions are basically the same process as a tkr. As with all rehabs, it will vary a little in form but essentially the soft tissue and nerve damage is about the same. The is less trauma on the bone as it has already been chisled and banged around on. Cleaning out the old cement is the one big difference. I felt the revision fit better than the original as I had them done at different hospitals and had different brand of prosthesis. The other thing, they were 9 yrs apart and I'm sure some changes were in effect.its still the same process and slow and easy is the formula.
