In Dec of 2004 I had a TKR which was sucessfull. After 4 weeks I had 120 degrees of ROM. Unfortunately I fainted and as a result ruptured my Patellar tendon in the same knee. Had repair in January and followed up with PT. After 3 months in a Locked down hinged brace, I was free and the summer started out fine. In Mid July I stated feeling pain again and noticed it was more difficult to walk and move around. End of Aug I saw my OS and learned that the repair had let go and Sept 2 I had my 2nd repair. I stared PT only 10/31 (have been in an imobilisor since surgery) I now have to rturn to the hinged brace and only unlocked to 10%.
Has anyone else been through this or a similar situation? My OS tells me it is rare to have this occur and especially difficult following a TKR.
