Has any one been told that when you have T K R that your knee is set at a angle of 7degrees towards the inside of your other knee , or is this nothing but rubbish.Iwas told this when i went 4 my check up. Is their any one out there who has been told this.

Sorry Ian, never heard of it.  It certainly wasn't mentioned when I had my TKR.  Are you saying this was deliberately done?

Hi Ian37450 - I have had two TKR's and no, I wasn't told about the angle.  Just wanted to let you know.

It could be to match other knee I was before my right knee tkr that was knock knee both my legs were worn inwards After operation was told he had built it up with cement and 're angled it The other knee is to be done as soon as can tolerate it It's 11 weeks for me and I have just started to be optimistic that I am on the road to recovery It's a long haul

Yes I was told something like this and that my knee was 6.5 angle but there would be no problem. At least that what I think he said. I didn't care at all about how he was going to do it just how much pain would I feel. 😀
