OP, I had a knee replacement a few years ago, and my surgical knee is better than my good knee! Full range of motion, no pain, no issues.

My wife and I are in medicine, and most bad outcomes are due to people not taking physical therapy seriously. The outcome of a joint replacement is directly tied to how seriously people take their PT.

The surgeon’s job is done in 3 hours. The patient’s job takes 12 months. The patient decides whether scar tissue builds up and prevents a well functioning joint.
