Total Knee Replacement
 
The Most Innovative Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Program In Greater Phoenix  

What Is A Total Knee Replacement?

The total knee replacement (TKR) also know as a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is usually a last resort treatment for end stage osteoarthritis of the knee. Recent medical advances have allowed the total knee replacement to become one of the most successful and most common orthopedic surgeries. The total knee replacement involves sugically removing and replacing the working surfaces of the knee joint with artificial prosthetic components. 

How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Total Knee Replacement?

Although everyone is different, most patient require about 8-12 weeks to regain most function following a total knee replacement. It may take up to 6+ months to fully recover and achieve all functional goals. Individual recovery is largely dependent on compliance with pre-surgical and post-surgical physical therapy. 

Physical Therapy Following A Total Knee Replacement

Physical therapy following a total knee replacement is initially aimed at managing pain, decreasing swelling, preventing buildup of scar tissue and maintaining range of motion. A gradual strengthening program will be implemented as tolerated to promote strength of surrounding knee muscles. Finally an emphasis will be placed on returning to full function and achieving patient specific goals.
