Knee Surgery Recovery

After a surgical procedure to replace a joint or treat a knee injury, most patients can expect to spend an average of five days in the hospital. Physical therapy will begin the day after surgery, and the duration of the surgery recovery program will depend on the patient’s condition and the nature of the procedure. Most physical therapy programs typically range from several weeks to a few months, and mobility will be limited as patients regain muscle strength and the joint becomes stable enough to properly bear the body’s full weight.

Help in Knee Surgery Recovery

The typical hospital stay for knee surgery patients is four to six days. However, that is just the beginning of the surgery recovery and rehabilitation process. Physical therapy and range of motion exercises begin the day after surgery, and will generally run from a few weeks to several months, depending on the patient and nature of the injury and procedure. In the early days after an operation, it is important to keep the hip joint stable and in place to ensure proper healing. That said, patients can expect to resume walking with the aid of a cane, crutches, or a walker within days of the procedure.

Once a patient has left the hospital, there will be certain precautions that will be necessary in order to avoid complications and to fully recuperate from surgery.  For most orthopedic procedures like knee surgery, certain activities and situations will have to be avoided while a patient is healing. Learn more about knee surgery recovery today. Precautions to take after orthopedic surgery include:

  • Frequent stair climbing - Because keeping the hip or knee joint stable after an operation is so important to proper healing, patients should avoid going up and down staircases more than once or twice a day maximum if absolutely necessary, while recuperating.
  • Avoid recliners, hammocks, soft chairs or sofas - Doctors recommend that patients sit in firm, straight back chairs to ensure proper alignment.
  • Use an elevated toilet seat to avoid extensive bending at the hip or knees.
  • Take extra care around small children or excitable pets, and avoid heavy lifting of any kind.
