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.

This shift increases pressure on posterior knee structures, causing discomfort during movement. Targeted quadriceps strengthening and rehabilitation exercises can reposition the tibia and alleviate symptoms. Early intervention and consistent physiotherapy are critical to restore knee stability and prevent complications. Patients should monitor their symptoms closely and seek medical advice if pinching worsens, or if accompanied by pain, numbness, or swelling. Proper rehabilitation and follow-up ensure improved function and quality of life post-TKR.
