Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Meniscus tear can be associated with arthritic pain.

Meniscus tear pain will disappear after TKR.
There will be no impact in healing of Total knee replacement due to previous injury.
Post operative Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises for early recovery.

Total knee joint replacement patient find good difference in mobility after joint replacement.
So you can do TKR after consulting joint replacement surgeon, there will not be any problem probably.

You can start walking with in 2 weeks time.

NOW less pain with latest post op infusion pump.
