After knee replacement surgery, rehabilitation exercise as soon as possible will be more helpful for patients to quickly restore the function of knee joint, accelerate blood circulation, take away inflammatory mediators in the body and alleviate the pain of patients. After going home to recuperate, the patient should first take the initiative to flex and stretch the function of the knee joint. When flexion reaches a greater degree, the function of their knees will recover better and better. Secondly, we should pay attention to the training of muscles around the knee. Patients should actively flex and stretch their knees and exercise the quadriceps function. In addition, the most important thing is to lift the patella. This kind of functional exercise is very important for lifting the patella and improving the function of quadriceps femoris. Finally, patients should take active ankle flexion and extension exercise, which can speed up blood circulation and prevent patients from deep vein thrombosis.

Early postoperative functional recovery exercise will make patients' postoperative pain lighter and lighter, and their functional recovery will be better when they return to the hospital for review two or three months after operation.

What does the diet need to pay attention to after knee surgery?

Generally, after an operation, the body is often weak, and family members may make some more nutritious food for patients. In fact, you don't need a special diet after surgery, just follow a normal diet. After knee replacement surgery, patients can eat normally and supplement some nutrition appropriately, but it is not recommended to supplement too much. For elderly patients, it is very important to supplement proper amount of eggs and milk every day.
