re: Knee Replacement Update/Question

I had a partial knee replacement last July. I did all of my PT at home. I did five exercises every hour and at the two week check up I had just about full motion. One of the hardest exercise was the knee bend. I had to sit in a chair with my knee brought up to the chair. I then moved forward for five seconds and then back again. I had to do this ever hour. The other one was to sit in a chair and put my leg on a coffee table or something and straighten my leg for five seconds. Do this every hour. I still do this exercise some. After doing these five exercises I had to put ice on my knee for the rest of the hour. I then would start all over.

It’s strange two joints have totally different rehab protocols.
Two massively different style of procedure.
For a knee replacement they essentially almost have to sever your leg.

What Lsukinesalum2001 is spot on. I want to add a bit to it though. You started PT 12 days after your surgery. This is insane. As Lsukinesalum2001 said, you should have started immediately. Same day or day after. Most TKA you're going to want 0 extension and 90 flexion by day 3 post surgery. Not starting PT 12 days after. Unless you got an infection, someone screwed up. If you are having problems with ROM, get the manipulation under anesthesia.

If your first physical therapy was 12 days after, there's your problem.
