I think those are Power Grips pedals. https://www.powergrips.com/I have a set that I can put on 1 of my bikes. I converted them to the "extra long strap set" in order to get enough toe-out for my prosthetic foot. The longer strap set is also much easier to install and adjust than the standard set.

It is now 12 months since I underwent TKR. During the summer, I completed two multi-day tours on the bike. I still use fat pedals, as I don't feel comfortable with clip-in pedals.
The knee got stronger and more flexible after each tour. At the end of the month, I am going to Taiwan to cycle around the island (960 km). I'll let you know how it went.

Update
I completed 1200 km cycling the island of Taiwan last November. I needed pain relieve on occasions, but I managed the heat and exertion very well.
It has been a long and painful journey (18 months) since my op, but I no longer need pain relief and my future looks bright.

I've had two TKR and found that I couldn't get the positioning of the cleats just right. Switched to flat pedals and have had no problems since!

I have a set (of Power Grips pedals) that I can put on 1 of my bikes (i.e., unassigned pedals right now). I converted them to the "extra long strap set" in order to get enough toe-out for my prosthetic foot. The longer strap set is also much easier to install and adjust than the standard set.
