What Precautions Should One Take After A Knee Replacement Surgery?

After going through a total knee replacement surgery, there are certain precautions which you must take in order to avoid any post-surgery complications or damage and dislocation of your replaced knee.

Wound Care

Since total knee replacement is an invasive procedure, you will have staples or sutures on your wound. You must never try to cut these sutures at home. These sutures will only be removed by a practiced clinician after two weeks of the surgery. The wound can get worse if the sutures are cut by yourself. Do not soak the wound in water, it should be properly dried and sealed. However, you can keep bandaging your wound to keep it clean and dry.

Prevention of Blood Clot

There are chances of blood clot formation during the first few weeks of recovery. Therefore, your orthopedic surgeon may prescribe certain anticoagulants like aspirin and warfarin to prevent the clot formation. You must complete the anticoagulant therapy as recommended by your doctor. Also, you must stay vigilant regarding any sign of blood clot formation in your treated leg. These signs include:

Excessive pain in the calf.
Redness, irritation and tenderness below or above the treated knee.
Increased edema i.e. swelling in your ankle, calf or foot.
