TKR causing hyperextending

Posted , 2 users are following.

5yrs out from TKR  my knee hyperextends, not a lot 1-2 times a month. I am able to catch it when it does it. Twice I have fallen once requiring stitches to the eye brow. I thought I was tripping over things, crack in the cement etc. Now I realize its the new knee. 

how do you deal with hyperextending artificial knee?
