Recovery After Knee Replacement

Regarding recovery after knee replacement, Dr. Harlan Selesnick, Orthopedic Surgeon at Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, says the recovery starts from literally when you come out of surgery, most patients will be placed in continuous passive motion or CPM machine to start moving the knee from day one. He explains this will hopefully motivate the patient with wound healing and perhaps less scar tissue. He also says most people are walking well within four weeks.
