I had a TKR 8 months ago and posed the question to my surgeon when I was 6 weeks into recovery. He answered that my chances were 50/50. About half of his patients can kneel again, but usually not on a hard surface. He recommended using a pad and extending the foot back for added suppport. I am now able to kneel for a short period, but not for a great length of time without feeling some pain.
