Thank you for the information to follow up on to get an answer ! My husband had a knee replacement in his right knee. While he was in surgery, the surgeon came out to speak with me and stated that they didn't have the right size knee for him. Needless to say, I freaked out ! They had already cut his leg and were ready to go with the new knee. I asked " What in the world are you going to do ? We are in a rural area and it's not like we can just call another Hospital and ask if the have one that fits ? " I know..let me get back with you in just a bit"..he went back into the surgical suite and returned and told me " Everything is fine. We do have the right size." He has had nothing but trouble with it. He had to go back in to the hospital and have it " broken" while under a spinal tap so he wouldn't feel the pain. Nightmare !!!! He had the other knee replaced and it has been without issue. So, makes me think that I was lied to ? He did everything they told him to... compression motion machine, pt, home exercises, etc. We have always though they just put in the " closest size " that was available. Opinion appreciated.
