A member asked:
Had fluid drained 7 weeks after patella femoral replacement now my patella has extreme pain when i lift my knee in a bent position. is my tendon torn?

Postop PFA: Highly unlikely for you to have a patellar tendon rupture. I do hope that you are engaging in appropriate follow up with your orthopaedic surgeon and also maintain compliance with the postop exercise and rehab program they have put together for you.
