how long before you can return to work after knee replacement
The study involved nearly 700 knee replacement patients from five medical centers who were questioned by an independent survey company. Sixty-one percent of the study patients were women, and 75 percent were employed during the three months before their knee surgery.
After knee replacement surgery, you should not pivot or twist on the involved leg for at least six weeks. Also during this time, when lying in bed, you should keep the involved knee as straight as possible.
