Episode 23
In this episode, we delve into the critical role of inpatient physical therapy for patients post total/uni knee replacements. We explore the evaluation process and exercises that ensure patients are safe and ready to return home.
We also discuss the criteria that determine whether a patient can go home the same day as their surgery or if an overnight stay is necessary, shedding light on the factors that influence these decisions.
