Total Knee Arthroplasty
Post-Op Protocol
Post-operative Therapy Guidelines
A total knee arthroplasty surgery is a big undertaking, and full recovery is not obtained until 1-2 years from the procedure. Improvements will be seen week to week, so don't be frustrated if you are not up "running around" in 3 months. Compliance with the therapy regimen is important to decrease the chance of stiffness after surgery and prevent other complications.
