My father-in-law has had bad knees for years - bone on bone. Now that I have had a successful LTKR, he is considering having his knees replaced too. At 57, my knee replacement has gone very smoothly (sleeping well, little pain, good ROM) but I see that the recovery is long and still difficult. I'm at 12 weeks today. While I want to be encouraging, I'm concerned about his age and the potential for many painful PT sessions. He is generally healthy but is not an exercise-type guy. Very active and busy around the house and yard. Also he lives in another state so he can't use my hospital or OS.
What are your thoughts for his age? Single or bilateral?
