Total Knee Replacement Posted: 07-09-04 18:36pm


I had a tkr 2months ago and am having a terrible time getting back to normal. My doctor told me he offset the knee 7 degrees to increase the life of the tkr * problem is that that makes my foot track abnormally and is really hurting my ankle * I can't point my foot straight ahead !! Has anyone ever heard of this "7 degree offset" ??? Has anyone had a similar experience ??? Others I have talked to with tkr have never heard of the "offset"
