Narrative

Description of Event or Problem

OSTEOARTHRITIS HAD DETERIORATED MY GAIT PATTERN AND I RECEIVED A ZIMMER NEXGEN CR FOR A TOTAL RIGHT KNEE ARTHROPLASTY. WITHIN 4 MONTHS, MY SURGEON SUGGESTED A REVISION RTKA BE PERFORMED, SINCE THIS IMPLANT FAILED. HE STATED THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY THIS IMPLANT FAILED. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE SWELLING. ALSO, I HAD MORE PAIN WHENEVER I RESTED THE RIGHT KNEE THAN I EXPERIENCED WHILE WALKING. CURRENTLY, MY ABILITY TO WALK HAS BEEN DECREASED SEVERELY TO IN HOME DISTANCES (I LIVE IN A 25 FOOT RV FULLTIME). DATES OF USE: #1: (B)(6) 2011 - (B)(6) 2011 AND #2: (B)(6) 2011 - (B)(6) 2011.
