Health Query

I have had pcl reconstruction surgery on 30th jan, followed by knee debridement and lavage on 26th feb due to consistent pain, swelling and mild grade fever. However lab results for pus culture, synovial fluid culture and mtb were negative, ruling out any local infection. Crp and esr are high at 39 and 36 respectively, rest parameters of blood test are normal. After 26 feb, pain was reduced but still it is there. Swelling is there as well. Fever comes and go (99 to 99.5) like 3-4 times in a week. Mri was redone. Result is- marrow edema in distal femur and proximal tibia, moderate joint effusion with synovial thickening and bulky patellar tendonitis. Rest reported normal. Want to know why I still have pain, swelling on knee cap and mild fever thats keeps on coming like 3-4 times a week. What should I do next. I have stopped taking any antibiotics. Not taking physiotherapy sessions also due to pain and swelling. When will pain and swelling around knee cap and fever will go away? Whats wrong with me?

Dear ,
greetings
description tells me that you might have sub-clinical infection. As you are off antibiotics now, we need to see how your feels after 2-3 wks. Repeat your crp and esr levels. 20 days post surgery there should not be any other cause of fever even though its mild. Swelling will take long time to around 6 months or so. Your doctor may advice culture from knee fluid once your are off antibiotics for about 2 wks. Was the second mri with contrast?
You have more pain in bone...more

I had a knee replacement 8 days ago. I have staples in my knee. Can I leave the staples open to the air or do I have to keep them covered with gauze and bandages?

Just had knee replacement 4 3/4 weeks ago and was doing excellent. No pain hardly at all. Yesterday I was walking down my stairs and at the 3rd to the last step I felt something rip resulting in a torn patella tendon. Why did this happen? please tell me.

Dr. S. Gomathi90%(2528 ratings)

Physiotherapist•Bangalore

It's due to heavy impaction over the tendon due to uneven weight bearing in the joint, try to do quadriceps strengthening exercises, along with it avoid heavy exercises. Go for graduated weight bearing exercises.

Hi doctor, my mom is 58 years old. Her knees are completely out and we consulted a doctor in Chennai and he said knee replacement surgery has to be done. She does not have sugar or bp. However, she is a non-dialysis patient as the creatinine level is 2.2. Is it good to do this surgery?

Knee replacement is a common procedure now a days and helping lot of patients with knee problems majorly done in cases with grade 3 osteoarthritis. You can surely opt for it if her condition is debilitating and she is not able to walk. Just go for strengthening and range of motion exercises before and after the surgery.

Its better to have brisk walking rather than treadmill or jog. Though never contradicted, its always better to protect the implant as implant too undergo wear and tear.
Thanks!
