Hello,

I have studied your case history.

You will need X ray of knee
There is possibility of impingement of implant along soft tissue during knee movement.
As bone union is complete and implant is producing pain you can remove implant consulting your doctor
Clinical examination is important to know site of pain.
You can also send x ray photo on my profile.
