Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your knee replacement was done on 25th .It is already nearly 1month has passed, so your sutures must have been removed by now. If you are not having fever then no need to worry much.But as it is measure so you should consult your operative as soon as possible. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. 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.
