Total Knee Replacement and Rehabilitation: The Knee Owner's Manual

Daniel J. Brugioni

4.9/5 (32280 ratings)

Description:Knee arthritis can be a source of daily and disabling pain. While several treatment options exist for arthritis patients, ultimately, end-stage treatment is total knee replacement. Approximately 250,000 TKAs are currently performed each year in the US, and about a million people a year contemplate having this elective surgical procedure. These figures are rising due to the aging of the baby boomer population and the growing demand to maintain an active lifestyle, even into old age. Total knee replacement requires a great deal of time and attention to detail to enable the patient to achieve the maximum benefits of this surgical correction of their knee dysfunction. However, in our current health system of managed care, professionals have less and less time to spend with each individual. Fortunately TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY covers every detail that a patient needs to know. The book is the first step-by-step guide to help patients navigate through the entire knee replacement experience. The authors, a joint replacement surgeon and a physical therapist who specializes in knee replacement patients, have written this book from the point of view of both patient and professional. Dr. Falkel had both of his knees replaced simultaneously in 2000; even though he had treated patients with this surgery for 25 years, he was amazed to find that he was not prepared for the twelve months following surgery. His role as a patient with bilateral TKA has changed his professional approach to the treatment of his patients. The book is a comprehensive guide for the patient, explaining everything from the preoperative decision-making process, the surgery itself, how to prepare your home for post-surgery rehabilitation, and a week by week description of how to rehabilitate yourself following your TKA. The road to recovery is laid out clearly in this book in such detail that there are no surprises. The book concentrates extensively on postoperative rehabilitation, which is vital to the success of a total knee replacement, and as important as the surgery itself. It empowers the patient with knowledge to encourage them to take charge of their own rehabilitation program. The good news is that a TKA is life changing -- for the better. The book contains 145 exercises, 190 illustrations and photos, and questions and answers at the end of each chapter. Contents Part Knee Arthritis and Treatment1.
