Greetings from Australia! Love your work Dr Rosen! So informative and well explained. Glad I found your KZbin channel one week after TKR ! Thank you for your dedication and commitment.

The idea is to use CPM together with active motion. If you use it properly, the improvement in flexion is visible.

This is a great video, thank you it puts my mind at ease for when I get one. I tore everthing but my PCL, dislocated knee cap and and no cartilage for 21 years I am 38. Any suggestions for surgens in Arizona I should reach out to?

Thank you so much, finally I understand that post operative depression is a real thing. I love your videos because you don't candy coat how hard knee replacement is, physically, emotionally and mentally. I find people that haven't had knee replacement tell me to buck up, get over it and have gratitude. I want to scream.

Thank you for the advice !😊

Bloody great I need a TKR every time I see one of these vids it makes me change my mind

Great video , I have had 2 hips done in the past the last year both anterior Both have turned out great . I am 59 and had really bad arthritis First one had zero issues walking unaided in first week , riding the bike week 3 and in the gym every day till back to work at week 12 I’m now 16 weeks post op on the second one This one had a nerve complication , my femoral nerve was injured / compressed during surgery and I had almost total quad palsy I worked crazy hard at getting things moving again and by week 5 ish I was able to start Pilates which really helped Now I’m still in the gym 5 days a week , lots of hiking in the mountains , back to cross fit , Mtn biking . Strength is almost back to normal , doing 400 lb leg press , Bulgarian split squats , box jumps , dead lifts and almost a pistol squat with my first hip I had very little pain , more pain from the arthritis than the surgery , tramadol for 4 days then Tylenol and Advil for 3 weeks Looking forward to skiing and hockey this coming winter ! Other than the nerve issue the anterior was great I forget I’ve had them done Extremely grateful to have my life back

Thank you for this, though I am wondering why you skipped the arms?

I am at 4 weeks, had 132 ROM if pulled in, but each morning it starts back at ~90 and have to walk bike for 10 min the I can do the chair flex and then do the knee sides in bed , repeat the next day.. Now do chair flex exercises 3x at night, can’t sleep more than an hour or two, but next morning back to 90. How to keepROM? Do the flex exercises 6x a day, knee gets hot , swell and can get pain each flex session!

3 weeks out & at 120 already! You definitely have to put in the work though & serranpeptase helps break up that scar tissue too. It also helps to have a GREAT doctor that you can easily reach him or his team to answer ANY questions you may have. Mine usually gets back to me via email w/in 15 min. of me emailing them!!!!

I have a total knee replacement scheduled for 7/26/2024. Any secrets/tips?

Very informative

This video (imo) is the best one by far I have seen on You Tube,. Three weeks post op after a full knee replacement I was starting to get a little bit lazy, but this has shocked me out of complacency. I am doing very well walking unaided, but the leg still feels very stiff. I am at 110 degrees at the moment. I have just ordered a new exercise bike off Amazon, which is rather annoying, because I sold a really good one last year as it was not getting much use Again, thank you very much Adam.

I had monovisc injection about four weeks ago but pain still persists there at the back of knee, also doing PT. Can’t stand for a long time.

Uou talk too much get to the point lol

I’m three weeks out. My flexion is 105°. My leg is stiff. I’m riding the bike. I’m doing all the exercise. I’m going to PT twice a week and I’m still not getting better degree of bending?

This was fantastic. Thank you 🙏.

Excellent body scan meditation, thanks 🙏🏻

When journaling wasn’t cutting it, I found what I needed. Thank you for this stress relief

I’m just not sure why my knee feels so heavy if that’s just from the swelling that hasn’t gone away? It’s been 3 1/2 months since the manipulation where they manually bent it for me, but I still can’t bend it all the way back now because it’s so swollen… I am able to hobble around and walk on it OK but it’s that heavy feeling that just feel like I’m dragging a ball in chain!and I guess how would they tell if my body is not accepting it… An x-ray?

Is it normal to be in pain from PT all week to the point where I can't do much of my other exercises??

What if your non weight bearing for 6 weeks on the operated knee? Im 2 weeks on from a combined High Tibial Osteotomy and Microfrature procedure. Im doing the PT movements and really pushing it. What sort of range of movement at similar timescales should i strive for.

Dr. Adam I did my exercises on time and went physio but my extension and Rom not good after three months . Surgeon said after 6 you need manipulation, then he changed his mind and left me like this ,what should I do ? Why surgeon don’t do their job 😢😢 I am in pain

Iam having TKR next month iam so scared but this is the best vid I’ve seen

Game Ready Ice Machine cost about 3K. Stupid money. However, going through 1 TKR and scheduling 2nd TKR I am desperately looking for the Game Ready. This machine is a game changer for TKR, especially the first 3 weeks. I was turned onto this machine by my PT people and is the mack daddy of pain control. All the 150 to 200 ice machines are passive but lack the performance of Game Ready. Good Luck all you TKR peeps.

Yes, and when your hip has been replaced!

Right TKR surgery 15/2/2024, went well. Range of motion , physio all good until week 8. Got infection, back for second surgery 24/4/2024 for debridement. 6 days in hospital, 6 weeks attached to an IV Baxter bottle. Think it’s beaten. This video is perfect.

Hi Adam. I had a hip dislocation and my right leg 20 mm shorten than left from my first day, and currently I have a osteoarthritis and planning hip replacement. Is it possible to fix that length difference? Thank you.

I had the the rods in both bones. So a total knee revision. My surgeon is the best. The original replacement loosened because of bone failure. I did not go back to the original surgeon. My new surgeon figured it all out and is a miracle doctor. Thank you Dr. Wood. I would never go to another surgeon ever except him. The best👍👍👍👍

I can bend both my tkr knees to 145. If i push further will that damage the joint ?

I had an undisplaced femur fracture (transcervical fracture) 6 months ago after a fall. My fracture was fixed with a plate and screws which I now have learned is no longer (for the past 10 - 20 years) common procedure. I am walking ok now though the surgical hardware can at times be un comfortable. I am concerned though why I didn’t receive the latest best practice for my surgery which is just pin and screw. In hospital no surgeon came to explain my situation or to discuss options with me. Only a registrar came who stayed a couple of minutes just to announce that I was scheduled to be operated on the next day and it would be a plate and screws.

Had hip surgery last Nivember was not allowed to see dentist for 3 months after surgery.at that time my surgeon said go to dentist and gave me antibiotic to take 1 hr before visit. NOW WHO KNOWS???

Thank you Dr. Rosen! Wish my surgeon would have explained this procedure like you did. Unfortunately, he told me that there was probably nothing that could be done about my stiff knee.

Dr Rosen thank you so very much for this comprehensive information. It is so detailed and the very best on KZbin and has been most helpful. I live in Sydney Australia.

I can bend my knee to 130 degrees, no problem. Are you saying my implant won't go "all the way"? My other knee I can bend so my heal rests against my buttocks. No one told me this or I may have chosen to forego surgery, despite the advanced arthritis.

How many months will it takes to walk without limping after tkr?

I do this with my clients and students as a relaxation exercise. Anthony Hopkins was taught this by Sir Laurence Oliver. He was so wrecked understudying him in Othello that he Would sweat through several shirts #actors #actingexercise

Dr Rosen, my surgery was 4 years ago, all went well to include PT however,, completing my therapy, my knee is almost totally locked, the best I can achieve is 113, range of motion was always excellent., 57 yrs old and I have to hold on to something and bend in to put on pants - question is, I do not see anything about years after surgery with ROM getting worse and why

The terminology, at least for myself, s/p TKR over 3 years, great success with therapy however, now my "stiff" is frozen. I am 57 years old, I cannot put on my pant leg normally, much less ride bike. Following up with surgeon, he said it was fine, PT improved during appt and immediately lost it as soon as I left. Scar tissue or too large...I am not sure. Researching revision specialist for hopefully...answers

Best advice I've had so far. Thank you

It’s been two months not much pain still can’t sleep much. slept okay before operation

Because I wasn’t told by my surgeon what to expect postoperatively, I felt depressed and shocked. This could’ve been avoided if I had known what to expect . Your patients are lucky that you have prepared them, but I think you are the exception to the rule unfortunately.

SOOOO GOOD! I KEEP TWITCHING FROM ANXIETY AND ITS SO FRUSTRATING!! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANKS!❤

Hi Dr Rosen, I heard a pop in my knee and pain down my tibia and behind my knee, Dr thinks it’s meniscus but according to mri it’s frayed, I think maybe they missed something like maybe torn acl, could that be missed on mri

Lots of long over the top meditation videos out there with obnoxious background music. Love this is straight to the point, that works better for me.

Thank you😊 Your video was great info. I'm 3mos in my recovery I need all the help I can get.

Well I’m depressed now and my anxiety level just spiked after listening

Is these pt helpful to those who have knee ffd 30 degree with further flexion up to 120 degree following tkr?

Thank you, i'm waiting now to go into hospital to remove my infected knee replacement of 5 years ago, it's never been right, swollen stiff and very sore from day one, lets hope this new one gives me relief. they said all procedures and recovery will take about 12 months.
