There is still the possibility to be surprised from the surgery, I discovered when all the damage to the joint did not show up in the X-ray. Once the surgeon got into the knee, he discovered the Tibia to have been pitted with cysts. He was able to drain and fill the cysts with new material. He needed to find a suitable and stable place to anchor the pin/screw that holds the bottom of the new knee in place, and so used a longer-than-normal pin for that part of the procedure.
Is this TMI?
