Hi, Thanks for your share- the 1-2% statistic of for total knee replacements that become infected. So out of 100 people who have had TKAs, 1-2 people will get an infection.
I do see a lot of people who have the same knee replacement scars out in public, but that doesn't mean they have had an infection, just the replacement. I would recommend yoga and ballet barre classes and lots of biking if you like being active 🙂 all of this will keep your core strength and barre classes use light weights which would be perfect for your rotator mobility and strength. Good luck!

i was very active before the bug hit me , now i am trying to do was i was doing pre-op but it is tough , first of all i cannot walk a block without pain coming on , i love biking , i ride my bike on a wind trainer for 15-20 minutes and i really pay for that for the next 3 days , therefore not ready for the bike yet , i did swim a long time ago and i have started again about 3 weeks ago , i have worked myself up to 1/2 mile swims now and things feel great ! i golfed 3-4 times a week , Sept/14 our club had their annual mixed scramble windup tourney, i was talked into giving it a go , not good for knee and shin but i survived , i am a snowbird so looks this AZ winter will be a rehab one !
