Patients often have a delay prior to formal physical therapy, are given bad advice, are anxious, or are doing suboptimal exercises when recovering from knee replacement surgery. The mistake is to use any excuse not to stretch. Please do not delay or stop stretching after knee replacement surgery unless specifically told to do so by your surgeon. For more information, please check out my website...

Numbness lateral to the incision is normal following total knee replacement surgery. I explain the anatomy in this video, and show how this is not avoidable.

Although not what I would consider optimal, a bike can be used to help rehabilitate your knee replacement. I prefer stretching that can be done passively, without using much effort. A bike requires you to exert force using your non-replaced leg to stretch your replaced knee. A bike also will not automatically require full range of motion in your replaced knee. In summary, a bike can help rehabi...

Patients have about 6 weeks following knee replacement surgery to regain adequate range of motion. It is not unusual for patients to struggle with this. Manipulation under anesthesia is an option to consider around 6-8 weeks following surgery if patients have not gotten significantly beyond 100 degrees of flexion. I demonstrate this technique in this video.

Ice (cryotherapy) is very effective to reduce inflammation following knee replacement surgery. I recommend using ice 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, and repeating this cycle as often as possible. I describe 3 different methods to use ice following knee replacement surgery. Affiliate links: Commercial ice packs that I purchased - amzn.to/3p3vvu0 Ice machine that I purchased - amzn.to/3uxm3Ak

I demonstrate how to use a goniometer to accurately measure knee range of motion. This is particularly helpful to track your progress following knee replacement surgery. If you want a goniometer of your own, here is an affiliate link to guide you: amzn.to/37twmwC

In this video I present my algorithm for management of a stiff knee replacement. Ideally, you will regain a functional range of motion by 6 weeks following surgery. If you are unable to accomplish this, you could consider manipulation under anesthesia. If you get beyond 6-8 weeks post-operatively, and at that point need help with range of motion, scar tissue is too dense to yield safely to mani...

The first phase of rotator cuff rehabilitation is designed to minimize stress on the freshly repaired rotator cuff tissue. You will be using an abduction sling, removing it only for hygiene and to get dressed. It is OK, and encouraged, to actively move your fingers, wrist, and elbow, unless otherwise specified by your surgeon. Definitely avoid any active range of motion, and certainly DO NOT do...

Stage 3 of rotator cuff repair rehabilitation goes from week 9-12 following surgery. At this point you should discontinue use of the sling. Active range of motion can be started, but Do Not begin strengthening yet. If you have not yet regained full passive range of motion, continue stretching on a daily basis.

Beginning in week 3 following rotator cuff repair surgery, you should be doing passive stretching exercises on a daily basis. Avoid any active range of motion which will stress the rotator cuff repair and increase the risk of repair failure. Use the sling at all times when not stretching. You should try to stretch for a cumulative total of an hour at the endpoint each day.

The final phase of rotator cuff rehab begins in week 13 after surgery. During this phase you will begin strengthening (progressive resistance exercises). If you do not have full range of motion yet, continue stretching on a daily basis until you do.

Rotator cuff repair rehabilitation is one of the most challenging processes in orthopedic surgery. It is crucial to do this correctly to get the best result possible following surgery. Doing too much, too soon increases the risk of repair failure, while not doing enough will result in stiffness, pain, and poor function. In this video, I outline my rehabilitation recommendations, which minimize ...

I recommend stretching for many minutes at a time for a total of an hour at the endpoint every day following knee replacement surgery. Somehow many patients believe that 10-15 seconds at the endpoint is adequate. Because biologic tissue is somewhat viscoelastic, long duration, but low force stretching is often more effective, and causes much less inflammation. I use viscoelastic putty to demons...

ua-cam.com/channels/OJg4ht1mEKBey-skLftDKwIf.html you are struggling to rehabilitate your knee replacement, I have several suggestions for you. It is crucial that you personally take responsibility for your own rehabilitation. Then you must stretch, for long durations, every day. Using ice can be helpful. Distract yourself using music, television, and interactions with friends and family member...
