Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain
Have replacement left knee, 6/2009, knee cap revision had to be done in 11/2010 since knee cap moved. Pain has never really gone away. Most recent radioactive scan 12/11 shows prostheisis is good shape, knee cap is dead. Apparnetly blood flow to knee cap was cut off as part of last surgery. What are my options ?

Hi,
You have two options, either replacing the knee cap again or you can go for arthroscopic lavage, it will definitely relieve your pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
