The typical recovery process after knee replacement surgery involves several stages. Initially, patients spend a few days in the hospital, where they begin physical therapy to regain movement and strength. Pain management and wound care are crucial during this period. After discharge, patients continue rehabilitation exercises at home or in a physical therapy facility for several weeks to months. Full recovery can take 6 to 12 months, during which patients gradually return to normal activities, focusing on improving mobility, strength, and function. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon ensure proper healing.
