I am 5 days post op from left medial partial replacement. I am 67 and in excellent shape. There is no way I could ride a stationary bicycle today and both my doctor and PT would be against it. While pain is reduced and I am off prescription pain meds since day 3, the swelling is inhibiting my flexion which is normal. Goal in week one is to get full extension and 90 degrees of flexion. I can walk short distances without crutches. I never used a walker. Good for him if his results were as he describes but, this is not the norm. Driving after 1 week when right knee was involved is irresponsible at best.

I just had knee surgery on Friday. I wasn't given any instructions for showering, pt/ot, or anything else. They just patted the back of my hand and wheeled me out. Seriously not impressed with that possible

Thank you for sharing this information. I’m having partial knee replacement surgery soon and I have stairs. This is very helpful. Thanks again. 🙏

What if your mom weight bearing

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS THE CHOICE OF METAL OR CERAMIC BALL IS ONLY PART OF THE REPLACEMENT. SOURCE GIVEN AT END: "Risk of Metallosis from the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII Hip Implants The Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII are a bit different from the all-metal hip implants in that they implement a ceramic ball rather than a metal one. Since the major problem with the metal-on-metal hip implant design is the fact that the ball and acetabular cup rub against one another causing tiny metal ions to shear away and lodge into the surrounding tissue or bloodstream, it was believed the ceramic ball of the Rejuvenate and ABGII would effectively circumvent this issue. Unfortunately, the design turned out to have some different problems however the result was the same-metal ions in the body leading to metallosis. Metallosis can cause serious adverse health symptoms for the recipient of the hip implant, many of which are irreversible, even when the implant is removed. The Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII were recalled this past July due to the risk of fretting and corrosion at the neck juncture. It was later found out that the metal trunnions, located at either end of the neck piece are made of metal as well. Body fluids can become trapped underneath the trunnions, corrosion occurs and metal ions are released into the body just as with the all-metal implant. The trunnions on the neck snap into the stem on one end and the ball on the other, giving surgeons freedom to choose the perfect size components for each individual patient. There is considerably less metal surface area than in the metal-on-metal hip implant, meaning there will be lower levels of cobalt and chromium in the body. The problem is that any level of cobalt and chromium can be too much. In persons who are particularly sensitive to these metals, even small amounts can make them very sick. Others with a relatively high tolerance for the metal ions may not notice any adverse effects until the levels in their body have built up to an alarming amount, then they may fall very ill. The following health issues are common in cases of metallosis: Kidney problems and renal failure Neurological issues Cardiovascular problems Loss of vision and hearing Disruption of DNA Thyroid problems Fatigue, anxiety, depression Loss of memory Chronic headaches and brain “fog” Dizziness and vertigo Skin disorders Gastrointestinal disorders The development of pseudo-tumors Those who have a Stryker Rejuvenate or ABGII-or any other metal hip implant-in their body should take special precautions. You must have regular blood work to monitor the levels of cobalt and chromium in your body, and your doctor may also want you to have a bone scan to determine whether there is any deterioration of the bone or tissue surrounding your implant. An experienced products liability attorney can also help inform you of your rights and assess your individual situation in order to determine what your options are for your future."

Thanks.

If using toilet pull your under wear/ sweats down to ur knee then sit down do your business then stand up balance on one side to pull up underwear/ sweats then lean against wall and bring other side of under wear & sweats up. If at night for men go commando or wear loose fitting shorts then urinate in a pee container, have a small wash clothes to catch drippings it helps instead of going to toilet dyring late noght/ early morning.

This is fantastic news! I'm 51 and had my left hip replaced 5 years ago. Wear has been a concern for me because I'm a martial artist/kickboxer, runner and I do a lot of hiking. I was told at the time that the new HXPE inserts were so good that they didn't know how long they would last. But knowing that even at a high impact and activity level, it will likely last the rest of my life definitely allows me more confidence.

Had mine done at 52, mine was the result of an accident, but good to know this will last my life time, I'm one year out and it feels great

I had a stroke and my left foot is pretty weak when I'm walking and I use a cane. I have to have bunion and hammer toe surgery on my right foot. how will I be able to walk after the surgery?

How long does this numbness take to vanish ? I am in my 5 months after the TKR both legs.

I just did mine a week ago. How was your recovery and how was pain after surgery?

I had a manipulation 5 weeks after my replacement. The anesthetic was brutal, but after i got home and slept it off i had no further issues with my knee and everything is working great

Whatta Maroon, a fall from the second floor!!!! I'm not thinking about my hip. Your head explodes like a melon BUT your hip is fine..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My ceramic on ceramic is 20 yrs this year. No probs. It's DePuy

Cost difference between robotic and traditional knee replacement surgery

I wàs shown the opposite😮

Went bionic 9/24/2004. Going great. Overweight though,, Workin on it

Excellent! I needed this before my hip replacement. But now I'm resdy for a new knee so this will really help me! Thanks you so much!

Fascinating.

My husband is having a shoulder replacement by Dr. Amini on April 15th. I’m glad I saw this.

I’m 42 and just had an anterior hip replacement feeling much better

6 0z hibiclens, not 4; 22g mupiricin not 22 oz.

Thank you for this!

This was so well explained. I've been resesrching extensively for my hip repair and this is ghe first time I ran across such a detailed explanation. Now, if I could only find the best surgeon for this in NJ I might find the nerve to become a bionic man.

Thank you ... i needed what you provided here.

Sir ,what about average knee extension after mua?

Thx

My replacement is in 10 days, and my goal is to surf again, so thank you for the inspiration!!!

I knew I had a baker’s cyst before knee replacement. About two months before my surgery, I walked into a wooden crate and almost immediately had unexplained pain. Only my foot and lower leg hit the crate, not even that hard. I was in pain for about three-four days and used a cane to get around. During those days I tried to stay off my feet. I have long thought that my cyst had ruptured, always hearing how painful it is for them to burst. Guess I’ll never know…

Funny that there are no comments from people who have had it done.

It's been a learning experience, especially about setting up your walker after surgery. My major change occurred at my first PT visit. It seems I had my walker way to low, thus continuing walking just as I had both prior and after my procedure. Walking upright and tall as soon as you can is key to regaining both the proper mechanics of walking and reducing stress on you leg and body. Literally as soon as the adjust was made and my walking technic was changed my whole body and outlook changed. I'm off of my pain medication as my swelling and soreness are reducing by nearly 20% each day. I'm excited to hopefully drive again soon as I am now in my twelve day. Yes, the first three days were terrible, but PT is the roadmap to the promise land. Stay the course and you'll be back doing some of the things you haven't been able to do in possibly years. Good luck!

I had my hip replaced 4.5 years ago October 2019 with the anterior approach in Toronto. After two years in May 2022 I started running again every other day running no more than 5k at a 5 minute or so k pace… no issues 🏃‍♂️

Which surgery but ?

I have found that my surgeon - and, for that matter other medical and physio practitioners that I have spoken, do not understand that most current electric cars have the option of I pedal driving and simply cannot get their head round it when I explain it to them. Having had knee replacement relatively recently on my right side, I can drive without any reference to my right foot - my left foot controls all functions. I am not going to drive off my own land against their instructions as that would invalidate my insurance but frankly it is ridiculous because I can and, in fact, always do drive with my left foot.

Best video 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Excellent video. I just had a hip replacement surgery 8 weeks ago. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

I’m 2.5 weeks post-op. My surgeon told me that mine would last 60 years. It was hard to believe, considering everything I’d read that said they have a 20-25 year lifespan. It makes me feel better hearing it from another source. At 32 y/o, 60 years should be plenty.

Didnt work for me. I couldnt even get the sock aid to move out.

Had total knee replacement in 2014, damaged as a accident ( pedestrian) Just had it x rayed. Would I need an MRI to show damage? Thank you. 🇨🇦

dear dr.Yun. I am 54 year old.Soon I am expecting total hip replacement of my left hip by Zimmer Biomet double stem.What is your opinion about recommended prothese? Any estimated lifetime for this kind of prothese?thanks in advance.

This video was so helpful. I am getting a partial knee replacement in 2 weeks and this patient's experience mirrors what I am hoping for in my recovery. Thank you for posting it.

Wow so thorough. Suppose to have this done. But my doctor's claim to fame is he does 200 of these a month. But I actually wonder if he can be this precise. Like to find a doctor like this. Thank you for such a good explanation on this.

Thanks for this information! Pre knee replacement surgery, my knee is so shot that I use my sink to help lower & raise myself. I also live alone, so I am quite worried. Tfs!

I’m so glad I came across this video. I had a TKR in October and I may need a MUA as my range is only at 75 degrees. I hope I have as good an outcome as Albert.

Thank you for sharing

My sister was told to do it after only 2 weeks of pt. This is ridiculous. This was never done before, but greed prevails. They always find new ways to make more money, regardless of how they affect someone's quality of life. Being just under anesthesia for the surgery and going under so soon is literally life threatening, but do they care? Many people have a very bad reaction and die. Who do you blame? They cover their butts in the form you sign, you give the the permission to do this to you and they do NOT take responsibility. With Physical Therapy you can do well. Do NOT let them bully you into it. The risks outweigh the benefits.

Polymotion, resurfacing technique with polyethylene cup. No necrosis no cancer....the new canon

Fascinating. I’m a former dancer and was wondering if there is an engineering solution that avoids metal on metal technology, that is in development that embraces the current successful practices of a total hip replacement but with a design feature of the metal component in the hip joint that allows a greater range of movement in the limb that enables dancers to continue their careers as choreographers on a low impact basis?

Very poor demonstration
