Re: knee hyperextension and TKR

[Guest guest]

Welcome Ann!

I am sorry to hear that you have not had much success with your knee

surgery, and are potentially facing more.

Knee replacement is no small surgery as you can imagine and you are right to

be cautious - the outcome of the surgery depends so much on what your

expectations will be, if it is to stop dislocations, then this might be

unrealistic as often the prosthesis can dislocate - it's the connecting

structures that allow for the dislocations and hypermobility, not the bones.

Having said that though, I do know that there are some here who have had

TKR, so I hope one or two of them will step forward and say hello!

Clear DayHi Ann

Sorry I missed your original post.

My name is Vee aged 38 and have HEDS and recently had the second of my knees

replaced successfully.

If there is anything you would like to know feel free to ask away.

Take care
