About 10-12 weeks: Complete recovery after a knee replacement takes on the average a full year to reach max. Improvement. 70-75% of this usually happens in the first 8-12 weeks.

Up to one year: The knee keeps healing after surgery for an extended period of time. Most patients return to normal activity in 6-12 weeks. For the knee to feel completely improved may take up to one year.
