I'm glad someone actually read this post, not that anyone would have an answer. I saw my Orthopedist last week again. He is really not sure what is causing this thing to buckle. It could be scar tissue raising it's ugly head again, thanks to AS. He removed alot during the revision he did in Aug. and now there is alot more. Or it could be the new knee cap not tracking right which throws the whole extensor mech. off or a multitude of other factors or a combination of any. He started talking about surgical options and I pretty much lost it from there. He set me up with an appointment with another Orthopod that specilizes in problem replacements. I will talk to that doc on the 28th and then back to my doc the following week. I'm pretty much looking at my 3rd. surgery on this knee this year and still have the 2nd one on the other knee in the past year and a half, but can't do that until we get this replacement working.
I have been researching this on line for a year now and have probably close to 50 articles on the subject. I don't know why there aren't anymore out there about AS and TKR as there is only one. I just want this nightmere to be over. I thought that this time last year I would be running around with two good knees. Oh well I'm rambling. Sorry
