Preoperative orientation Most patients will be asked to donate 1 to 2 pints of their own blood in the weeks preceding knee replacement surgery. This helps reduce the need for a blood transfusion from our blood bank. Almost all of the patients will receive the donated blood as a transfusion after surgery. Rarely, an additional transfusion is necessary from our blood bank. The blood from the blood bank is carefully screened to the best of our ability to detect any infectious diseases.
You will be asked to see a medical doctor at HSS prior to your surgery. This is a precaution to make certain that you are healthy enough to undergo knee replacement surgery. In the course of this workup, you may be asked to have additional testing to examine your heart and lung function. After your surgery, this medical doctor will see you in the hospital. Postoperative course Immediately after total knee replacement surgery, you will be in the recovery room. Most patients are able to go to a regular room after a few hours, when the sensation returns in your legs. You will be given a pain pump connected to your epidural catheter which will allow you to control when you are given pain medicine. Most people are quite comfortable with the pain pump in place.
On the day of surgery, you may do some of the exercises as instructed by your physical therapist, including quadriceps contractions and moving the feet up and down. Depending on your surgeon's preference, you may begin bending your new knee right after surgery, or on the first day after surgery. You will be allowed to take some ice chips after surgery to wet your mouth, but drinking liquids or eating may cause you to become nauseated. You will have a catheter in your bladder so that you do not have to worry about urinating. Once you regain the movement in your feet, you may be allowed to sit up, stand, and take a few steps with the assistance of a walker and a therapist.
The first day after surgery will be an active one, designed to help you get more mobile. You will meet our physical therapists, who will instruct you in more exercises to perform while in bed. In addition, they will help stand today and take a few steps with a walker. Generally, you will be allowed to drink clear liquids today. In the next few days, you will find it easier and easier to move about. You will be freed up from the pain and urinary catheters. Pain medication will be given in the form of tablets. Eventually you will progress to walking with a cane or crutches. On the second day after surgery, if your bowels have shown evidence of recovery, you will be allowed to eat regular food.
Depending upon your age, preoperative physical condition, and insurance coverage, you may be a candidate for short-term placement in a rehabilitation facility. Otherwise, you will be discharged home and a physical therapist will come to your house to continue rehabilitation. A case manager will discuss these options with you and help you plan for your eventual return home.
Your return to activity will be guided by your surgeon and therapists. Generally, patients are able to walk as much as they want by 6 weeks postoperatively. Patients are able to resume driving at 6 weeks. At 8 weeks, patients are able to resume playing golf and swimming; at 12 weeks, they may play tennis. Your surgeon will help you decide what activities you may resume.
