Post Operative protocol after knee replacement
Once knee replacement done there's start role of post operative rehabilitation and it has definite role in patient's outcome.
On Day 1 we start walking with walker and Quadriceps static exercises as well as knee Range of Motion exercises according to
Pain tolerance.
Day 2 we change the dressing and continue same exercise for 2 weeks and patient get discharge with medication and physiotherapist visit at home.
After 2 weeks we remove the sutures and allow climbing stairs and continue knee ROM exercises.
At 1 month we allow to start walking without walker and allow almost all activities.
So after knee replacement if patients follows strict discipline in post operative Physiotherapy and activities then there's successful outcome is guaranteed and patient will be pain free.
