Recovering from Total Knee Arthroplasty: Physical Therapy
Total Knee Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the replacement of a damaged or worn out knee joint with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic components. The procedure is typically performed on patients who suffer from severe arthritis or other knee conditions that cause chronic pain and limited mobility. During the surgery, the damaged portions of the knee joint are removed and replaced with the artificial joint, which is designed to mimic the natural movement and function of a healthy knee. Recovery from Total Knee Arthroplasty typically involves physical therapy and rehabilitation to help patients regain strength and mobility in the affected knee.
