Yeah, Bob Seger. The music video is notable only due to how much of an 80's boss the bassist is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMIJuuk1SFs&t=269s

Mom has knee replacement surgery today and she is super nervous about it. For my medical goons or anyone who has had to deal with it for a family member, any advice or things I should know for recovery?

For my medical goons or anyone who has had to deal with it for a family member, any advice or things I should know for recovery? Total? Partial? One of the most common ortho procedures. Very high success rate. Depending on the kind of replacement and your mothers health and when the surgery was performed she could go home the same day. If she’s got some health stuff going on, certain age etc she might need a quick few days in inpatient rehab. If she’s in good health, PT can start as soon as the next day (light stuff of course nothing serious right away). Will be in a brace for a 7-14 days but thats mostly to let the incisions heal. She’ll be weight bearing as tolerated fairly quickly. Depending on health, she could be back to weight bearing without restriction in 10-12 weeks. But thats just an estimate of what I can remember. I’m sure there’s one person who’ll sweep in here with the top results from google and point out I was off by two weeks or something.

Inpatient rehab is fantastic. That’s where I worked as a cna before PA school. Basically round the clock PT and nursing. Doctor checks in once a day to make sure nothing else is going wrong. Insurance usually covers this because the outcomes are so much better. Sometimes people are given the option of inpatient or home. Home doesn’t do as well because home PT is time based and instead of he patient being brought to the pt room ready to go, they have to get out of bed, get ready, go to the bathroom etc so in the end they get less pt. OTOH they’re home so ya know. Also if they’re diabetic weird stuff happens to your body after surgery and it’s not a bad idea to have nursing there to restabilize everything. If there’s a good inpatient rehab where you are they might have pool therapy which is just about the best thing for obese people with LE joint replacements.

My dad recently had his first total knee replacement and his other is next month. He was heavy and ended up losing significant weight for the surgeon he found to do it, but apparently this guy is one of the best in the Carolinas and just happens to practice near him. I dunno, probably bullshit. He was in the hospital for two or three days afterwards, then got sent home and got a little machine through insurance that I guess this doctor designed. It helps him bend his knee over the rehab time and then helps him measure how much of an angle he can bend to. He said was pretty aggressive in following and exceeding the recommendations as pain allowed and for to like 110 degrees over the first month. His repaired knee leg is now an inch and a half longer than the other as a result of fixing the extensive bowing. He had no regrets.

My dad had both his knees done in the last four years and bear in mind a lot of this can be impacted by general level of health. His was less-complicated because he was/is very mobile and otherwise healthy. Do everything you can to help w fall mitigation (cane, walker, etc). Also my dad used this little sleeve that circulates super cold water and it really helped w pain and inflammation. Make sure she keeps up with PT. Lots of folks delay appointments because it is difficult, but it’s the most important thing. It seems torturous but she’s got to break up that scar tissue or her recovery will be much longer and range of motion will be impacted.

More things as I phone post between sets. Weight loss is the absolute most important thing and it’s one of the reasons I hate a lot of orthos. Her other knee likely needs replacement too, and as she recovers she’s going to compensate by putting more strain on it. Additionally, even if she has both knees replaced, that’s going to put the strain somewhere else. Imagine the hips, knees, and ankle joints all bearing the strain together. Six points of failure, oversimplified. You just made one of them very strong. That actually makes the whole system weaker. In your body when you have a bone break, the healed portion is initially stronger than the rest of the bone. This is bad because it changes how stress is distributed. So the body sends little cells called osteoblasts to eat up the healed bone a little so it matches everything around it. With your mother, the strain is now going to be worse on the hips and ankles, and uneven initially. The joint can make the entire system weaker, paradoxically, in the setting of obesity. poo poo is wild man. Ortho is boring as hell but it’s always cool listening to doctors just shoot the poo poo.

But the structure is dynamic. Also made of organic materials that are constantly healing and metabolizing themselves. Also the structure smoked for fifty years and played beer league softball way too long.

This happened to me after my multiple blood clotting episodes (first started in October 2015, diagnosed in January 2016, finally found a viable treatment for Factor V Leiden in March 2016, but enough nerve and muscle necrosis happened that I now walk with a cane). My left leg is the one that had most of the damage, so I began favoring my right leg fairly significantly. Guess what? That right hip and knee started to hurt like hell, because they were getting more work than the other side. Took some pretty intensive PT to get through it. I still walk with a cane when I go out, because my left leg is still weak and I also have a compression fracture at T12 and a herniated disc at T8, but at least I can move around my apartment without it now.

Ortho chat: My dad when he was 19/20 massively hosed up his knee intertubing when his tube hit a tree, like, total break, bone through the skin type thing. Doctors were able to put it back together, albeit as best they could. This was the 70s so it wasn't as well known what to do. Issue was, they wrapped a major blood vessel around the kneecap. My dad lost a lot of muscle in this leg as a result, his walking was hobbled, and he couldn't do things like run, ride bikes, etc. As my dad got older, the pain from it got worse and worse. Stuff like he wouldn't really move anywhere from it, and constantly complained about the knee and drove my mom crazy from it. He ended up tearing his ACL in his other knee from overworking it. For the longest time he'd go to different orthos who'd look at the x-rays and be like "nah I'm not touching that" because of that artery in the way until late 2019 he found an experienced one who decided to take it on. Covid delayed the surgery for a bit but in 2020 he finally was able to get a repair. Doc chiseled out a decent amount of his bone around his knee and got something installed to stabilize the knee while precariously avoiding the artery. Apparently this technique is pretty new, and was developed due to all the soldiers that had damaged limbs from the Iraq war (thanks... Bush?). After a short PT stay, he was walking again, and nearly 50 years of pain was gone. He still gets sore from overuse but he can take soreness. He was never able to ride a bike and we were able to do it when we went on family vacation this summer. He's finally getting his other knee fixed next month,, but that one is a pretty common repair at least

I definitely overcompensate for a severe left ankle and lower leg injury I got when I hit by a car as a kid. My left foot used to be noticably unnaturally pointed to left due to a gently caress up but 6 months in a leg brace, 8 years of regular pediatric orthopedic visits, and 23 years have mostly fixed that. However all of the time in the brace and having a really awkward gait due to all of that kind of screwed up how I walk and run. I also wear my left shoes out weird since when I walk I lead with the outside part of my foot and I have a real hard time keeping it fully straight. It's worse when I run and my left foot will turn out.

My mom had both her knees replaced this year (2 weeks apart, big mistake but she had no choice if she wanted to be on short term disability the whole recovery time). Just typical stuff, like make sure she does her PT, make sure she tries to bend her knee naturally as much as possible, make sure to go spend some time with her because she won't be able to go socialize much

My Dad had both knees done about a year apart and the main thing his Doc told him was just to keep it moving, it'll be sore but worse later if you don't. So he got an exercise bike and now he's fine. It helped that the pain from the aftermath of the surgery was lower than what he had been putting up with for years so he was happy to be able to actually move around
