During knee revision surgery, the surgeon removes an old knee replacement implant from the patient and replaces it with a new one. Visit www.orangeorthopaedics.com for more.

My mom had total knee replacements on both of her knees 2.5 years ago. 1 month ago she had to have revisions on both b/c the kneecaps had slipped.

At her checkup yesterday, the attending basically said that her kneecaps were back to where they were before this last surgery (off center and shifting to the outer part of the knees). He also said that if she strengthens the inner thighs the knee caps will be pulled back towards center, thus correcting the problem.

Does anybody have any inner thigh exercises for a person who’s undergone knee surgery twice in both legs?

Anybody have any experience with this slipped knee cap thing? What helped you recover?

My mom, and all of us (family) are quite upset with the results. It almost seems that she was cut this last time for nothing, as her knees are back to were they were before. And I have to wonder if these exercises are really going to help her problem, why didn’t the doctor just prescribe them a month ago before cutting my mom?
My mom is in physical therapy 3X a week. We’ll talk to the physical therapist about it too. Just please let me know of your personal experiences. Thanks.
