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.
