Common Questions and Answers about Rehabilitation knee surgery
rehab
Wow! Thanks for the info. I went to my orthopedic surgeon (I'm due to have a partial knee replacement on 6/17). When he read the report, he said that the tear is off the muscle not the bone. No surgery is warranted, (they don't sew a tendon back to a muscle) but extended rest of the muscle while it heals. He said that scar tissue would form and though I won't have as much mobility as before, it will heal with time.
Back then i got treated with some pills and some exercises. My knee is seen with little inflamation always and sometimes its painful while walking fast and going up the stairs. Can some time expalin my health condition. Do i need a surgery.
The tear is a horizontal tear and recent scan it say 2.5mm cyst is seen. Need a proper help pls !
Second, patients must be compliant with the post-operative rehabilitation after a meniscus repair. Rehabilitation following a meniscus repair is more significant than if the torn piece of meniscus is simply removed.Your symptoms might have appeared due to over exertion and as such nothing serious is presumed.You can see your physician for a normal checkup.

I had knee surgery (tibial tuberosity osteotomy with lateral release) 4 weeks ago. Was wanting to hear from other people who have gone through the same procedure. 4 weeks on I can bend my knee about 30 degrees and I am getting a bit more voluntary control of the muscles around my patella. My knee is still a bit swollen and I am still icing 2-3 times per day. I go back to see my surgeon in 2 weeks and would like to know if others have been referred to the physio sooner as this will be 5.
If the ischemia is found very recently, your might ask your doctor about the extend of the ischemia and the impact of if on your upcoming surgery and rehabilitation.
You and your doctor will then decide if you should have surgery plus rehabilitation or intense rehabilitation alone. Which option is right for you depends on several factors, including the extent of damage to your knee and your willingness to modify your activities.Short term treatment includes ice packs, rest, elevation, physiotherapy.
Take a second opinion in this regard.
Take care.
I have had a limited amount of pain compared to the painful knee replacement surgery and physical therapy following that. It has been 13 months since then, and the only lasting effect is the "knocking" popping sensation and sounds from the rotating platform knee system. I thought it might go away, but it still hasn't.
I don't intend on repeating the two surgeries on the other side for a couple of years, unless my left foot or knee dictate it quicker.
So far my rehab has been going well, however today after sitting my damaged knee crossed over my good knee during a meeting, i stood-up and my knee has started clicking and feels really uncomfortable. Do you think that i may have indadvertedly caused some damage to the graft (I don't usually sit in that position...)?
If money in not a problem and you are ready to take a big chance of re-surgery, we can try to Knee replacement.If it fails or gets infected,fusion can always be done.Vice Versa is not possible.However if it gets infected, things would get much complicated.
2) Since I have the arthritis in all of my joints, including my right knee, how much more stress will a fusion be putting on my right knee because of having to adjust my walking gait to accomodate the fused knee?
all others should be considered as candidates for surgery. In addition, surgery is considered on any young athlete due to potential complications from recurrent instability.

So unfortunately,medical treatment involving non surgical methods is unlikely.
Hope I have provided you with sufficient information.In case you need any more then pls post us.
It is difficult to say unless physical examination and x-rays have been taken to confirm the cause. The most important part of any orthopedic surgery is rehabilitation. Pain, swelling, difficulty in walking and giving away are all symptoms of quadriceps rupture. There could be degenerative changes in the patellofemoral ligament or a repeat rupture of quadriceps tendon or malalignment of the tendon.
Yes those surgeries are some times neccesary and as important is the surgery as important is the physical therapy and rehabilitation. Who is in charge of your recovery? it is really important that you have a whole team overlooking the progression of the post surgery.
Thank you. My mom is walking with a crutch. She has severe hip aches especially when she sits or stands up. She said she will have a CAT scan on the 20th of August. She had physical therapists for a month at home and when she had these hip aches she stopped physical therapy and started only doing short walks once a day. How long and what kind of physical therapy activities should she be doing after the knee replacement? Thanks.
I will have surgery tomorrow morning to repair the patellar tendon after a fall.....it is my right knee (accelerator leg)......assuming all comes out well and post surgery is good, what is a reasonable timeline to think that I will be able to drive my car....I am in Sales and that is my office.....any help will be appreciated.....
The problem with knee surgery is the fact that most surgeons don't want to perform the surgery on someone young, they believe it could hinder the recovery process and may actually cause more reconstructive surgeries in the future. It's also a matter of if the insurance will approve the surgery or if you would have to pay for a large portion of it out of pocket.
It also showed some arthritis under the knee cap. The surgery included a scraping and shaping under the knee cap. After surgery there was still sensitivity on the medial side of knee. Surgeon said it was because of the way the knee was held open during surgery and it would fade. It did for a time and now it is back. If I move my left leg from left to right and have some resistance against the foot there will be a sharp pain in the medial meniscus.
I have always had great muscular quadriceps. I had a knee injury last year and now I have arthritis in my right knee. I went through therapy a year ago, but my right quadricep does not look like my left quadricep. My question is: How do I build the muscles back up in my quadriceps (as a matter of fact, my entire thigh area)?
Hello,
I'm looking for advice and insight into whether or not I should progress with a meniscal allograft transplant surgery to my left knee. I'm a 28 year old male and played competitive soccer continuously for 20 years until I tore my ACL.
After the injury, I had an MRI and was told I had fully ruptured my ACL and also damaged the meniscus and had a deep lateral femoral bone bruise.
Rehabilitation after arthroscopic meniscectomy carries little or no risk. Rehabilitation is continued until the knee has regained full range of motion and strength . Strengthening and coordination exercises can be tried after discussing with your orthopedician: Lateral lunges, front lunges, half squats, leg press, lateral step ups, knee extension (90-40 degrees), hamstring curls, hip adduction and abduction, hip flexion and extension, toe raises, try all of these under an instructor.
