In endemic goitre areas 20%of the population over 70 years old will have a retrosternal goitre. The definition of a retrosternal goitre varies with respective authors, there are four major definitions.
I started PT after 10 days and can straighten my leg, bend to a little past 90 degrees and walk without crutches three days before the 3 week post surgery mark.
Usually it depends also on which leg was done. Takes longer before you can drive if your right knee was done, usually 6 weeks post surgery. With leâ¦ft leg 4 weeks post surgery. More Information: I will be getting a total knee replacement soon and my doctor said I would not be driving for at least 4 weeks. I have been told I would be using a walker for 3-4 weeks and a walking cane for 1-2 weeks more. Hope this info helps with your decision. I would comply with the doctor's instructons.
