My (75 year old) mother in law had a partial knee replacement in July 2014, and her would still has an opening and is not healing. She was place back in the hospital for six week to be treated for infection. She was going to a wound care physical for treatment. He told her in December that he had done all that he could do. He referred us back to her physician. Her physician went back in and clean out the wound on February 2, 2015 and it is still not healing. What should we do?
