Recovery after joint replacement is an important part of achieving better mobility and returning safely to everyday activities. Following your surgeon’s instructions, protecting the surgical area and gradually increasing movement can support a smoother recovery.
Rest & Elevation: For knee procedures, keep your leg elevated above your heart for the first two days by propping it up on 2 or 3 pillows. Do not let the leg hang down.
Bathing: You can generally remove your dressing after 2 days (48 hours) and take a shower, but follow specific clinic instructions regarding covering the incision with plastic wrap. Do not soak the joint in a bathtub or pool until the incisions are completely healed (usually at least 4 weeks).
Exercises: Unless told otherwise, start gentle range-of-motion exercises (like ankle pumps and straight leg raises) on the day of surgery to prevent blood clots and regain strength.
Returning to Activity: You can usually start other activities a week after surgery, but always talk with Dr. Bahl before driving, biking, or doing strenuous work.
