Hello, I had tar 7 weeks ago and recovery is going well as far as pain control and sleep. I feel lucky in some ways. However I’ve been in pt for weeks, twice a week (following about 6 sessions with an at home pt weeks -3) and my range of motion seems to be stuck between 90 and 94 . These are the’ old, measurements, at begiining of pt before knee has been worked on, as that is the number my os
deems most accurate.
At my 6 week visit last week, he said this is not good enough and asked me to do nothing but knee bending exercises for next 2 weeks, when I see him again. (He is happy with my extension and strength. If I don’t reach 105-110 by then (which is now one week away) he’s going to recommend MUA. I know there is some controversy here regarding this procedure, but I’d like to hear from anyone who has actually had it. How is the recovery? How much did it help rom, if any, and for how long? Not sure how you go from MUA almost directly to intense pt for weeks, but I hear that is what is recommended. By the way, my pt was surprised by this, he knew I was a bit stalled with rom but didn’t think my numbers would result in a recommendation for MUA. Also, I have an excellent os, all he does is knee and hip replacements and he’s very well respected.
