How long after knee repalcement does it heal?

You need as much as you can get...really, the more you move the new knee the better it will serve you. A physical therapist can help you with the rehab in the hospital & after you are out. It takes a good couple months to get to the full bend mode, it is slow recovery for most...although some people breeze through. It takes almost a full year before you feel the new knee is your own. I had my right knee done 14 mos. ago and just last month had my left knee done. I would recommend doing the knees at time apart so you can use one leg to get to the bathroom & into the shower seat, etc. You have to keep the muscles in shape to support your new knee. I might add that after surgery, the muscles tune out for awhile & it is important to start movement asap.

How long does a dislocated knee take to heal?

The healing time for a dislocated knee depends on the severity of the injury. Most knee dislocations result in the tearing or rupturing of a tendon. In this case, surgery is most likely necessary. This usually has the longer healing process. The time period is usually about a year ..with the surgery and physical rehabilitation. Full recovery of the knee (return to the previous, strong state) could even take longer. The dislocations that may not require surgery could take 6 months. Again, total recovery could mean more time.


How do you change the automatic transmission fluid in a 2005 outback?

Approx 30,000 miles. Instructions: There is a #70 torx bolt in the transmission to drain the fluid. You will need to purchase a new transmission bolt washer from the dealer before removing the bolt. Place a drain pan under the car and remove the bolt. Drain the fluid, replace the washer on the drain bolt, clean the drain bolt, reinstall the the drain bolt and fill with the same amount of Subaru transmission fluid that you drained. This should be around 3.5 to 4 quarts. If the transmission fluid has not been changed for a long time, drive the car and then repeat this process two more times. This is to change fluid trapped in the transmission. Not all of the fluid comes out each time the transmission is drained. On some models the filter is on the side of the transmission and can be spun off and changed. on other models it is internal. The manual states internal filter does not need to be changed.
