Hi,I am closely involved with THR,TKR at India with famous Orthopaedics.Yes, the post operative complications must be narrated to the patients with TKR and THR.Although the patient can walk on the same evening of surgery, the body takes its own time to heal.God has never gave us full capacity to go at a straight mile.
the Orthopaedic Surgeon makes all the seting on the OT table itself and explains to us for further PT procedures to the patient immediately the patient is out of OT.the anesthetist,Orthopaedics and we form the team to bring the patient to great convince of new life.As we become part of their freedom to walk painfree,we need to win them.All the contra indications must be explained to them freely.because litle mistake may lead to astroy.. its money matter and health matter.The advises must not be shocking to the patient.
If the Ortho Surgeon does a rotator palteform TKR, he may do flexion at 110Degree.But we need to start from 90 Degree at the first day with CPM.this has been practicing by me at Bangalore with my Orthopaedic.Thanks.
