I just found about this recall today 9-27-11, hav my total knee 9-30-11. Hurt more know than before the replacement. I have had extensive pain management, way too much, and need my other knee repalced, also. My doc says it all looks right, but agree that something must be wrong. Can anyone direct me to the REAL recall sight/lawsuit? Thanks, Pam in Texas
yes.
You can find information on knee ligament replacements by visiting your family doctor or nurse for advice on what suitable replacements are available. There are also health websites which you can visit that will provide relevant information in regards to knee replacements.
Yes. I work in an Orthopedic office and many patients that have previously had partial knee replacements are candidates for a total knee replacement. In our office, many of the docs do not do partial knee replacements, especially in younger people because the chance of the cartilage on the other side wearing down necessitating a total knee replacement is quite frequent.
yes
Ask your doctor
Osteoarthritis, which often leads to Knee replacements does have a genetic factor.
Yes, I'm not sure what makes you think it wouldn't be okay. Having knee surgery doesn't have any effect on whether or not you can use tampons.
Yes, knee replacement equipment and techniques were developed and tested in animals prior to being used in human medicine. The best part, though, is the technology and skill has returned to the veterinary field and knee replacements can be done for pets as well.

The knee replacement would be covered by the health care system.
There is no limit to the number of complete knee revisions you can honestly get. It isn't uncommon for total knee replacements to fail over time and need to be redone.
