What are the consequences of tibia loosening follow tkr 6 months ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TKR Loosening : Loosening of any joint implant is an urgent condition. It could lead to displacement of the implant, pain, bone fracture, and loss of function. I suggest that you return to your surgeon ASAP to get this addressed.
