Hello, Welcome at Chat Doctor. I have read your query. I feel sorry that you are going to have too early revision surgery, most probably you may already have revision surgery. During the knee replacement surgery a surgeon have to take care of soft tissue balancing around knee, appropriate size of implant, appropriate cuts at femur & tibia bone & a proper post-operative rehabilitation. All things if taken care appropriately will lead to a good outcome. Complications are part of surgery and sometime even does happen even after taking complete care. Such early revision is not too common but vary between 2-4% per year of total knee replacements. In reference to your surgery you should also read following article. This will help you to have a basic knowledge of muscles around knee & how to build them after complete recovery.http://quarieps.blogspot.in/Please do them under supervision. With best wishes.
