Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your history infection is likely diagnosis
DO NOT IGNORE INFECTION IN POST KNEE SURGERY .
You may need to investigate like CRP ,CBC,ESR
PCR culture is very useful to find culprit organism.
If infection is confirmed then debriedment is required .Persistent infection revision operation is required.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
