After 2 years of pain,rehab and PT. I finally found the problem. The Femur portion of my replacement is rotated 15-20 degrees from center. So a revision surgery is in my future.
I was told their was a problem with the Visionaire instructions to the surgeon.
This something the dr. can see from a side view of the Xray, if they are looking for it.
I was told this problem is popping up all over the US. Just something of knee pain sufferers to check.View Thread

The specialist said it is made for some degree of shifting and that 5 -8 degrees would be ok with little pain but mine is double and very painful.
I will need a replacement of the upper part.
Hope this helps someone else seeking answers to severe knee pain after TKR. He said that this is popping up all over the US and expects a recall of some sort soon.View Thread
