(braces, crutches, walker) - Do you have to go to a rehab facility after? - What level of activity can you get to afterwards? - Hip and knee recovery - Are there certain surgical approaches that are easier to recover from? - Muscle sparing total knee (don’t cut thru any muscle, how does it affect recovery?) 5) How long do joint replacements last? - Is a revision surgery more involved or is it easier? - Is it important to delay replacement if you are a young person? - Usually harder because it’s not just changing the plastic (metal gets loose from bone) - What can people do activity wise on joint replacements? - What are the benefits of joint replacement surgery?
