Bone and copper

But, I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow/today. So, I need to be up at a decent hour tomorrow. I get my bandages and sutures out then, to that’s exciting. I will also see when I qualify to start physical therapy. Yay!

Knee replacement surgery encourages mobility and increases the activity levels of a person. Staying active will help in maintaining good overall health.

A knee replacement surgery helps you to get regular exercise and can help in managing or preventing obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and other medical conditions. Stronger knees also offer more stability and support, so there is a lesser risk of having a fall or an injury.

High success rate and patient satisfaction rates: Knee replacement surgery is extremely successful and has high patient satisfaction rates. Most patients undergoing knee replacement surgery have a success rate of 90 to 95% after 15 years and about 85% after 20 years.

The high success rates and patient satisfaction rates make knee replacement surgery an effective and preferred form of treatment for severe knee deformities.
