Hello,
* There sounds to be chronic infection around the knee after the TKR which has not been resolved.
* Fluid aspiration for causative organism culture and further intensive care is mandatory to save the limb and joint healthily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
