Hi, Just wondered has anyone with dropfoot had a knee replacement? My Consultant is suggesting a knee replacement with hinges due to my footdrop but has said it is a big operation. I am concerned rather than improve my limited walking, it will make it worse.
I went through something similar with a knee that kept swelling after anything load-bearing. The single thing that helped most was getting the quad strength back before pushing the joint at all, and that took months rather than weeks. How long has this been building up, and does it ever lock or give way?
