膝关节置换术后恢复
在十大赌博平台排行榜
在你的膝关节置换手术之后, you'll be monitored in the recovery room for several hours and then taken to your hospital room.
你可能会感到疼痛. We'll give you medication to make you as comfortable as possible. Anesthesia can depress your breathing and stifle your urge to cough, 哪一种会导致肺部粘液积聚. Breathing deeply and coughing frequently helps keep your lungs clear.
The typical hospital stay after knee replacement is one night, 但有些病人停留的时间更长, 而其他人则在手术当天回家. Please contact our office if you're interested in our outpatient program.
物理治疗
Regular exercise designed to restore strength and mobility to your knee is essential to making a full recovery. Another important element is the gradual return to everyday activities.
During your hospital stay, you'll work closely with our physical therapists. They'll get you up and walking with either a walker or crutches, have you practice climbing stairs and provide instructions for a gentle home exercise program.
一旦你离开十大赌博平台排行榜, you'll gradually increase the distances you walk and resume most normal physical activities in three to six weeks.
家庭物理治疗
Some patients benefit from physical therapy provided by agencies that come into your home. 如果你需要在家照顾, a UCSF hospital discharge planner or nurse case manager will make arrangements for you. 病人 typically meet with the physical therapist twice a week for the first two to three weeks, 这取决于他们的家庭环境和需求.
门诊物理治疗
Outpatient physical therapy isn't necessary if you feel comfortable with your home exercise and walking program. If you decide to try it, we recommend waiting at least two weeks after surgery before starting.
If you're interested in outpatient physical therapy after your surgery, locate a suitable practice. 许多理疗师都是提前几周被预约的, so it's best to find a facility well before surgery and make sure your insurance is accepted there. 让我们知道你的选择,我们会传真推荐信.
在家康复
It's crucial to continue following your orthopedic surgeon's instructions at home, 尤其是在手术后的头几周.
护理你的切口
五天后你可以取下手术绷带. 如果你有缝合线或订书钉, keep your incision clean and dry until they're removed – 10 to 14 days after surgery. When you shower, you'll need to cover the incision so it doesn't get wet. You'll be given supplies and instructions for this when you're discharged.
如果你的皮肤有粘性封皮(Steri-Strips), it's fine to let soap and water run gently over your incision when you shower. Don't submerge the area in water until all the strips have fallen off and the incision is well healed.
Contact our office immediately if you develop any signs of infection. 这些包括:
- 切口周围发红
- 切口引流
- 类似流感的症状,如发烧和发冷
如何消肿
Blood circulation in your affected leg will be sluggish after surgery, 导致小腿和脚踝肿胀. Swelling lasts 12 weeks on average but should diminish with each passing week.
消肿, we recommend resting with your legs elevated – knees above the level of your heart – four or five times a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time. Apply a cold pack to any sore or swollen areas for 15 to 20 minutes at least four or five times a day.
Your walking program will also help bring down the swelling.
如何预防血凝块
Physical activity is the key to reducing your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – a dangerous blood clot deep inside your body. Walking – even short distances – promotes blood circulation, 所以在白天, get up every one to two hours and walk across the room. 当你坐着的时候,经常指向和弯曲你的脚踝. Also, remember to take your prescribed blood-thinning medication.
血凝块的症状包括:
- New or increased swelling of the affected leg that doesn't go down in the morning or after elevation
- Pain when you touch your calf in a distinct area that doesn't subside with ice, 抬高和止痛药
If you have one of these symptoms, contact our office immediately for guidance. 如果办公室不营业,会有十大赌博平台排行榜随叫随到.
后续护理
In the first year after surgery, you'll have regular follow-up visits with your orthopedic surgeon.
在这些访问中, 我们给你拍x光片,讨论一下你的舒适程度, 你的移动, how your new knee is working for you and any concerns you might have. We'll make sure you're healing well and progressing toward your recovery goals.
