1 Knee Replacement PROGRAM TM Nightingale Home Healthcare
2 With the help of Nightingale s experienced and professional rehabilitation team, you will be guided through a more complete and successful recovery from your joint replacement surgery.
3 Why Do I Need A Knee Replacement? Knee replacements are performed because something has happened to the knee joint that has made it too painful for activity and structurally inadequate for weight bearing (putting weight onto) activities. Though these are usually the only reasons a knee replacement is performed, there are many reasons why the knee becomes painful and structurally unsound. The most common issues are as follows: Osteoarthritis (OA) - usually occurs in people 50 years of age and older and often in individuals with a family history of arthritis. The cartilage that cushions the bones of the knee softens and wears away. The bones then rub against one another, causing knee pain and stiffness. OA mainly attacks large joints, such as knees and hips. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - is an autoimmune disease in which the synovial membrane becomes thickened and inflamed, producing too much synovial fluid that overfills the joint space. This chronic inflammation can damage the cartilage and eventually cause cartilage loss, pain and stiffness. RA is associated with decreased range of motion, morning joint stiffness (that lasts about an hour) and moderate to severe pain. Traumatic Arthritis - can follow a serious knee injury. A knee fracture or severe tear of the knee ligaments may damage the articular cartilage over time, causing knee pain and limiting knee function.
4 Indications You May Need A Knee Replacement: Severe knee pain that limits your everyday activities, including walking, climbing stairs and getting in and out of a chair or vehicle. You may find it hard to walk more than a few blocks without significant pain and you may need to use a cane or walker Moderate or severe knee pain while resting Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that does not improve with rest or medications Knee deformity: a bowing out or in of your knee Knee stiffness: inability to bend and straighten your knee Failure to obtain pain relief from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) Inability to tolerate pain medications Failure to substantially improve with treatments such as cortisone injections, physical therapy or other surgeries Most patients who undergo total knee replacement are age 60 to 80, but orthopaedic surgeons evaluate patients individually. Recommendations for surgery are based on a patient s pain and disability, not age. Total knee replacements have been performed successfully at all ages, from the young teenager with juvenile arthritis to the elderly patient with degenerative arthritis.
5 What To Expect After Surgery After your surgery, you should expect to be in the hospital for two or more days. Our goal is to prepare you for what is expected after your surgery, including answering questions and addressing your after surgery exercise program. You will use a specialized exercise program at home, after your surgery, with the guidance professional home healthcare team. Walking, knee, foot and ankle movement is important in your recovery that begins immediately after your surgery. These types of movements are encouraged immediately following surgery to increase blood flow and to help prevent leg swelling and blood clots. Most patients begin exercising their knee the day after surgery. Your physical therapist will work with you to learn specific exercises that will strengthen your leg and restore knee movement soon after your surgery. Our goal is to prepare you for what is expected after your surgery, including answering questions and addressing your after surgery exercise program.

7 Weight Bearing Precautions: Weight bearing is defined as the ability to put weight on your surgical leg. Depending on which surgical technique is used by your orthopaedic surgeon, will determine what your weight bearing status will be after surgery. It is important to follow the below, marked weight bearing recommendation until advised differently by your physician. ƛ ƛ Non Weight Bearing (NWB) - No weight applied to your surgical leg. You must use a walker or crutches to avoid bearing any weight. ƛƛ ƛƛ Toe Touch Weight Bearing (TTWB) - Minimal weight is allowed on your surgical leg. You may rest your toes of your surgical leg on the ground to gain balance but not to bear weight. Partial Weight Bearing (PWB) - Approximately 25-50% of the body s weight is allowed on your surgical leg. Assistive devices such as a walker or crutches must be used for assistance. ƛ ƛ Weight Bearing As Tolerated (WBAT) - Ability to put as much weight on your surgical leg as needed - as long as it does not cause sharp or an increased level of pain lasting for more than 20 minutes. Even though you are allowed to bear as much weight as you like, you may be instructed by your orthopaedic surgeon or physical therapist to continue using assistive devices for safety reasons. ƛƛ Full Weight Bearing (FWB) - The ability to place your full body weight on your surgical leg.
8 Common Recovery Information: You may feel some numbness in the skin around your incision and stiffness, particularly with excessive bending activities. Improvement of knee motion is a goal of knee replacement, but restoration of full motion is uncommon. The motion of your knee replacement after surgery is predicted by the motion of your knee prior to surgery. Most patients can expect to be able to almost fully straighten the replaced knee and to bend the knee sufficiently to climb stairs and get in and out of a car. Occasionally, you may feel some soft clicking of the metal and plastic with knee bending or walking. These differences often diminish with time and most patients find them to be tolerable when compared to the pain and limited function they experienced prior to surgery. Most patients can expect to be able to almost fully straighten the replaced knee and to bend the knee sufficiently.

10 Home Based Physical Therapy After Knee Replacement Your therapist will work with you on how to perform your exercises correctly. Exercises are personalized to your needs and should be completed as instructed. Following a proper exercise program will help your recovery by improving your range of motion, muscle strength and mobility after surgery. IMPORTANT: Only perform exercises that are marked on the following pages by your physical therapist When resting, keep your knee as straight as possible NEVER place a pillow or anything under the knee while sleeping or relaxing Use ice on you knee for minutes before and/or after you do your exercises.
