Timecourse of recovery

If you've been implanted with a Repicci knee replacement which has failed, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and get compensation for your pain and suffering. Take the first step today by filling out this simple form.

Post operative hospitalization varies from 1 day following Minimally Invasive Surgery to an average of 7 days depending on the health status of the patient and the amount of support available outside the hospital setting. Usually full range of motion is recovered over the first two weeks (the earlier the better). Walking with protected weight bearing begins almost immediately after surgery. At 6 weeks patients have usually progressed to full weight bearing with a cane. Complete recovery from the operating involving return to full normal function may take 3 months and some patients notice a gradual improvement lasting many months longer than that.
