When Measuring Knee Replacement Progress, Avoid This Mistake

Measuring knee replacement progress by your range of motion, extension and recovery timeline is one of the biggest mistakes people make after total knee replacement. If you're worried you're behind because you haven't reached 120° of flexion or 0° of extension, this video is for you. Many surgeons hope to see those numbers by your six-week appointment. When you're not there, it's easy to believe you're failing. You're not. I had my knee replaced before I turned 50. At six weeks, my extension was 3 to 5 degrees instead of zero. My surgeon wasn't worried. I was. That gap between what the numbers said and what my healing was actually doing is what this entire video is about.
