Thanks so much for the excellent article on tar after patellectomy. I am now 6 months postoperative and coming along. I no longer have the knife pain and have full flexion and extension in that knee. I am actually having more trouble with the other knee that does have a kneecap! Thanks again.

Colleen, As I am all too familiar with the road to recovery because of my mcl tear/subsequent surgery, I'm sure your post op recovery will take time. May I remind yuo that patience is a virtue. As far as a tkr after a patellectomy, I am not personally familiar, but I did find an informative scholarly article on the subject matter. I hope yuo find this helpful: http://www.pajot.eg.net/pdf/f1_2002/f1adb3.PDF. Best of luck, and hang in there!

Hi there,
Anyone had a total Knee replacement after having had a patellectomy 25 years ago? Mine is scheduled for January and then the other knee one week later.
Thanks for any advice,
Colleen
