    Partial (lateral) knee replacement

    Physical Agents In Rehabilitation
    Hi there,

    does anyone know of a good post-op protocol for these?
    I have googled a few to get some ideas but there are some contradicting aspects, such as bilateral flexion activities: some protocols say not to do it until further down the line and others included mini squats in within first 3 weeks.
    Any links / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Also, does anyone know how long people take on average to wean off crutches after these? I realize that differs between people but would be good to know what roughly to expect and by what time somebody should be FWB at the latest ??

    Thanks for reply!

    Re: Partial (lateral) knee replacement

    Book recommendations are great to fill me obvious gaps of knowledge. But until I have ordered this and it has been delivered it would be great to get access to a post-op rehab protocol somehow. I am seeing a client at the moment and need some guidelines kind of asap.

    Thanks again for any advice!
