See your ORS: That is unfortunate! if your knee is well/aligned and u do not have a feeling of 'looseness' in your knee than a strengthening program for your muscles ( quads especially )would be recommended . If it happens again or you feel " unsteady " than see your ors or get another opinion about your tka.. Best of luck!

Depends: If it was a traumatic dislocation (i.e. New injury such as a fall), then appropriate period of rest and then pt should resolve the problem. If it occurred with an injury, then i would be concerned about component rotation (femoral and/or tibial) or delayed healing of the medial arthrotomy (cut in tendon/capsule to get into the knee).
