A member asked:

At 6 months post op total knee replacement, is it normal to still have tightness & swelling of knee and when i press on the leg to have indentations?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knee replacement: 6 months after total knee replacement, swelling should be resolved. If it persists, there are several possibilities, including infection, irritation from the components, scar tissue formation, or instability of the knee. Recommend thorough evaluation of the knee by your surgeon, to include detailed physical exam of knee, x-rays, infection lab tests, and possible CT scan.
