Saw my OS and he beleives after contacting Dr. Blaha (U of M) that fusion is my safest option. I had a TKR in January 2003, had 2 staph infections, prosthetic removed, debrided, reconstructed bones (b/c the infection left abcesses), and then a MUA. I am stuck again at 40 degrees. Are we overlooking anything? I have 3 children under age 3 and really need my mobility? How high a risk is it to clean out my knee and use steroids/anti-inflmmatories and try again? Sarah
