Scar tissue after knee replacement

I also developed scar tissue, immediately following surgery, I was told it was genetic. I refused manipulation as I had such severe swelling and bruising after surgery. With aggressive and very painful PT I was able to get to 110 degrees, which I am at currently, at 11 weeks out. I have 2 PT sessions left and then will continue with my home exercising program. Hopefully all this snow will melt soon so I can begin some serious walking

Nice work! 110 degrees despite scar tissue and swelling is quite impressive. 110 is what I am at permanently after two manipulations and a full leg brace that had hand cranks in it that I would turn to force it to bend for my physical therapy. While I would have loved to have more, 110 degrees allows me to be physically active and does not hinder any of that activity. Keep up the good work.
