A member asked:
Is there anything that can be done to strighten or bend my knee after total knee replacement ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical therapy: Your knee will naturally stiffen up after surgery. You will not be able to do enough stretching on your own to regain full range of motion. P.T. Is vitally important to return to normal knee function.
