Dr. Sandoval was inspired to write a blog about total knee replacement because of one of his patients, a triathlete and older adult. Despite needing a total knee replacement, he wanted to continue his high-level activities like long-distance cycling, swimming, and even running. His determination and journey touched our hearts, and we felt compelled to share his story and insights with you.
In this video, Dr. Daisuke explains what happens during a total knee replacement, addressing common concerns and misconceptions. We also discuss the typical outcomes for patients after the procedure, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation and commitment to achieving successful results.
Factors that impact prognosis and positive outcomes are explored by Dr. Bay, highlighting the patient's commitment, prior level of function, and communication with the healthcare team.
We dive into the different phases of rehabilitation, covering the early, middle, and late stages. Dr. Bay-Jacques, Dr. Sandoval, and Dr. Daisuke share valuable insights and exercises tailored to each phase, guiding recreational athletes toward a successful recovery and return to their desired sports and activities.
If you're a recreational athlete considering a total knee replacement, know that positive outcomes are within reach. Find a skilled surgeon, commit to your physical therapy program, and communicate openly with your healthcare team. Remember, the journey may take time, but with dedication and the right approach, you can regain your strength and get back to doing what you love.
