Artroplastia unicompartimental de rodilla - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Reemplazo parcial de rodilla; Artroplastia parcial de rodilla; Reemplazo unicondilar de rodilla; UKA; Artroplastia de rodilla unicompartimental

Después del procedimiento:

La mayoría de los pacientes se van para la casa al día siguiente de la cirugía. Usted puede descargar su peso completo sobre la rodilla inmediatamente. Por lo regular, se requiere menos rehabilitación o fisioterapia en comparación con la artroplastia total de rodilla.

Después de la cirugía, se le invitará a hacer lo que más pueda por sí mismo. Esto incluye ir al baño o caminar en los vestíbulos, siempre con alguien ayudándolo.

La mayoría de las personas no necesita una corta estadía en un centro de rehabilitación después de salir del hospital y antes de irse a casa.

La mayoría de los pacientes tiene una recuperación rápida y experimenta mucho menos dolor del que sentía antes de la cirugía.

Pronóstico:

Muchos pacientes son capaces de caminar sin un bastón o caminador hacia la primera o segunda semana después de la cirugía. Usted necesitará fisioterapia durante 4 a 6 meses.

La mayoría de las formas de ejercicios se aceptan después de la cirugía, incluyendo caminar, nadar y montar en bicicleta. Sin embargo, debe evitar las actividades de alto impacto como salir a trotar.
