Post-Op Recovery PlanFollow-up in 2 weeksWhat we covered
The surgery went well, and the first two weeks are about protecting the knee. Keep the dressing dry for 48 hours, then cover it for showers. Ice and elevate three times a day for swelling, do ankle pumps every waking hour, and use the crutches as much as you need. The sutures come out at the follow-up.

Hi, I'm Francis 👋
If you're like me, discharge papers get read once in the car and never again. I built BodyBuddy to give everyone the daily accountability to recover the way their surgeon planned.
