After Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

Your Guide to Recovery & Rehabilitation

What to Expect After Surgery

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces only the damaged portion of the knee, leading to faster recovery and less post-operative pain compared to total knee replacement. However, proper post-surgery care and rehabilitation are crucial for optimal results.

Immediate Post-Surgery Care (First 24-48 Hours)

  • Hospital Stay
  • Early Mobilization
  • Blood Clot Prevention
  • Pain Management
  • Knee Brace (If Required)

Rehabilitation & Recovery Timeline

Week 1-2: Initial Healing Phase
  • Walking with Assistance – You may need a walker or crutches initially.
  • Mild Swelling & Discomfort – Expected but manageable with ice packs.
  • Physical Therapy Begins – Gentle range-of-motion exercises to prevent stiffness.
  • Home Care Precautions – Avoid sudden twisting, excessive bending, or prolonged standing.
Week 3-6: Strength & Mobility Improvement
  • Walking Independently – Most patients can walk without support by Week 4.
  • Increased Knee Flexibility – Gradual increase in bending and stretching.
  • Strengthening Exercises – Focus on quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles.
  • Light Daily Activities – Such as climbing stairs and standing for longer periods.
Week 6-12: Return to Normal Activities
  • Full Weight-Bearing – Walking, climbing, and sitting comfortably.
  • Pain Reduction – Significant improvement in joint function.
  • Return to Work – Desk jobs can be resumed by Week 6; physical jobs may take longer.
  • Low-Impact Exercises – Swimming, cycling, and stationary exercises are encouraged.
