I am curious as well. The ROM people achieve - both short term and eventually - is all over the place. I am supposedly at 114 2 weeks after surgery, functional as far as most daily activities go. My main concern is the extension, though. Having had back problems for decades, and sciatica on both sides for about 9 years, I need total extension asap. to prevent any more back issues. Seems some lucky people never had to worry about extension at all................. Anyway, looking forward to lots of ROM numbers to get a better idea what’s realistic.

I was told that at 120 degrees we should be able to walk up and down stairs and step off of a curb and if I never got anymore these things I mentioned would be important to my recovery. At the most now as I am not working with a PT, I may be at 95 degrees. I cannot easily do the things mentioned above and use a cane on uneven ground and when going up an down hills as it helps my balance but otherwise I don’t use it. Getting in my car is another challenge as the seat always has to be back as far as it can go and then I swing my leg up and than in. I do my stretches and bike in AM and that helps to kinda loosen it up. Then I go for a walk with my dog. At least I can do that.
