  2. IMPLANT LOOSENING AND WEAR The implant may occasionally become slack. Sometimes the cause of a loose implant is not immediately apparent. Orthopaedic physicians think that frequent high-impact activities, a large body mass, and wear to the plastic lining may cause your knee replacement to wear out more quickly and cause implant loosening. Younger patients who have knee replacements run a considerable risk of having their knee replacements loosen up.

  3. INFECTION It's possible for bacteria to stick to the surface of your implant when they get into your knee. This infection may start while you are still in the hospital after your initial surgery or it may start years later.

  4. INSTABILITY Patients occasionally have knee instability and Knee Replacement Hawaii. This may start when the knee is first implanted (for example, with poor surgical skill) or later on as the ligaments start to sag. Patients with unstable knee replacements frequently experience recurring swelling and feel as though their knee "gives way."

  5. STIFFNESS AND ARTHROFIBROSIS Around the entire knee joint, excessive scar tissue can occasionally accumulate. When patients lose range of motion following surgery, this can frequently frustrate them. The rigidity can occasionally make it difficult to carry out daily tasks. Early treatment of stiffness may allow for a straightforward manipulation to be performed while you are under anaesthetic. In other cases, stiffness is discovered extremely late. Arthrofibrosis is the term for when your knee is severely stiff and not working properly. Your joint will be severely scarred if you have arthrfibrosis.
