What is maximum range of motion after knee replacement?

After knee replacement surgery, the maximum range of motion that can be achieved will vary depending on several factors, including the individual's age, overall health, and adherence to post-operative rehabilitation exercises.

In general, most patients can expect to achieve a range of motion between 110 and 120 degrees after knee replacement surgery. However, some individuals may be able to achieve a greater range of motion, while others may have limitations due to factors such as scarring or stiffness in the joint.

It is important for patients to work closely with their physical therapist to gradually increase their range of motion through specialized exercises and stretches. It is also important for patients to follow their surgeon's recommendations for post-operative care and rehabilitation in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

It is important to note that while achieving maximum range of motion after knee replacement surgery is important for overall function and mobility, it is not always possible to completely restore the same range of motion as before the surgery. However, most patients are able to achieve significant improvements in movement and function following knee replacement surgery.
