Title: Fracture
Post by: joec19 on August 24, 2023, 05:01:28 PM
Hi everyone,
At 9 weeks post op I suffered a small fracture.  It was so small x ray and CT radiologist did not see it but surgeon clearly noticed it.  The giveaway was that the femoral component migrated and fell into a varus position.  My protocol was no weight bearing 5 weeks then gradually reintroduce weight.  I’m currently 9 weeks post fracture and can put 75% weight but it’s still very sore and tender.  I feel like I’m going to need a revision.  Has anyone had this situation where they had a fracture, the device migrated, and you were able to save the resurfacing?
