Hi
Flipped t waves means that he has t wave changes, either inversions or sagging.
This means that he may have got some ischaemic changes,hwhich he never had during the previous surgery.
It is betterto get evaluated with the cardiologists, to rule out any ongoing or any occurred cardiac problem.
Since knee replacement surgeries are major ones, cardiac status evaluation & treatment is very important
All the best
Take care
