A member asked:
Can you have be having a metal reaction to partial knee replacement with continuous swelling and fluid? its been 10 months and diagnostics are normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: see if the FDA has received a number of similar reports for this particular brand of implant. File an adverse effect report with the FDA. That is the only way that the FDA can detect a significant danger from a particular medical device if it was not noticed in trials before release to the public.
