I had a total knee replacement in (b)(6) 2013 @ (b)(6) hospital in (b)(6).Performed by dr.(b)(6).I am single/live alone/no one to care or help with my care.After 4 days in the hospital, i was transferred to a nursing home for a 20 day stay with therapy.It was a traumatic experience.I never was pain free.By (b)(6) 2016, i could stand the pain no longer.I went to the hospital and had x-rays which showed probable tibial plate loosening and possible infection.I had a nuclear medicine study performed within a month which ruled out infection.Because of the mental trauma i suffered after the replacement i continued to endure the pain until (b)(6) 2018 when i had a total knee revision done @ (b)(6) hospital in (b)(6).Performed by dr.(b)(6).His operative report documented the loosening of the tibial plate and the failure of the cement and debonding which had occurred.
