According to the National Association of Homebuilders, over half of the houses built in the U.S. are two stories tall. Many of these homes feature bedrooms, bathrooms, and other important areas on the second floor that may not be accessible when a weight-bearing joint is recovering from an invasive procedure, leading many people to wonder, “When can I climb stairs after total knee replacement surgery?”
A total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a knee surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon to alleviate pain caused by arthritis and other knee damaging conditions.
Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery refers to modifications of conventional knee replacement surgery designed to reduce tissue trauma and improve recovery time.
An anterior total hip replacement is also known as a total hip arthroplasty and is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged hip joint to allow patients to function without hip pain.
