After having a rod inserted in your femur, the process of a knee replacement typically involves waiting for a period of healing and rehabilitation to ensure that the femur stabilizes and the surrounding tissues recover. Once cleared by a physician, imaging studies will be conducted to assess the condition of the knee joint and the positioning of the rod. The knee replacement surgery itself involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components. Post-surgery, rehabilitation is essential to restore mobility and strength in the knee and leg.
