Questions for Post Revision Surgery
Good day everyone, my name is Bryan from Malaysia, I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at left distal femur on Sept 2010, done LSS walking happily till May 2018 accidentally fractured my left distal tibia, fix It with metal implant, after 6 months' intensive physiotherapy sessions I was able to walk again, cycling and travel as usual.
However, my surgeon has confirmed my plastic loosening on May 2025 constant pain after walking.
Aft delayed for one year, I took my courage done revision surgery on 27/07/26. Doctor did not change upper femur part but merely changed my knee joint to titanium (no more plastic)
Today is PO Day 67, I am able to walk and use stairs, of course got warmth around lateral and medial knee after exercise I just rest and it would get better (no need ice and celebrex)
But there is one disturbing thing, ever since PO Day 60, I noticed sometimes when I have my legs crossed or flex my knee at 90 Degree if i put more forces, it will move/rotate a bit by itself and have 'clunking' noises (it did happen from the past 16 years but not frequent)
I was kind of freak out, I text my surgeon he said it is completely normal.
Any member faces the same problem pls? Thanks
