A member asked:
Will a person be able to walk normally after knee replacement surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes much better: Total knee replacement is made to reduce pain and improve function. Patients walk much better after recovering from a total knee than they did before total knee surgery. Most walk close to normal or normal once they have fully recovered.
