Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read your query.I feel sorry that you are going to have too early revision surgery,most probably you may already had revision surgery .During the knee replacement surgery a surgeon have to take care of soft tissue balancing around knee,appropriate size of implant,appropriate cuts at femur & tibia bone & a proper post operative rehabilitation.All things if taken care appropriately will lead to a good outcome.Complications are part of surgery and sometime even does happen even after taking complete care.Such early revision are not too common but vary between 2-4% per year of total knee replacements.

In reference to your surgery you should also read following article.This will help you to have a basic knowledge of muscles around knee & how to build them after complete recovery.
