This period focuses on managing pain, swelling, and preventing complications like blood clots. Patients typically use crutches or walkers for mobility and perform gentle ankle and toe movements to promote circulation. Early activities emphasize safety, gradual movement, and adapting to daily tasks with patience. By two weeks, swelling usually decreases, mobility improves, and patients prepare to start physiotherapy exercises to regain strength. Monitoring symptoms and maintaining follow-up care are crucial for optimal healing. Understanding these milestones helps patients navigate the early recovery phase effectively, ensuring long-term success of the knee replacement.

How to Maintain Range of Motion After Knee Manipulation Under Anaesthetic
Manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA) is a key procedure to restore knee mobility after total knee replacement when stiffness occurs due to scar tissue. Early intervention and consistent rehabilitation, including targeted exercises like heel slides and quadriceps sets, are essential to maintain range of motion and prevent long-term disability.

Early intervention and consistent rehabilitation, including targeted exercises like heel slides and quadriceps sets, are essential to maintain range of motion and prevent long-term disability. Effective pain and swelling management, patient motivation, and regular physiotherapy support further enhance outcomes. Recognizing signs of complications and maintaining follow-up care help avoid recurrent stiffness and promote lasting joint function.
