Manipulation under anesthesia. Best if done under first 12 weeks.

The surgeon literally cracks all the scar tissue by bending your knee while you are comfortably under. It resets the clock though. Swollen, painful after- controlled by medication and ice. No resting though. Aggressive therapy which is easier as the incision is healed and not an issue like st the beginning.

Very interesting. Never heard of that before. Hopefully I won’t have to do that. I’m working hard with PT. Thanks for the info.
