At last the first book to focus on knee replacement surgery, something over a million people are facing at any given time. Each year, large numbers of people decide to have knee replacement surgery (TKA) - and that number is growing quickly. Here is required reading for everyone undergoing or contemplating this surgery, their family members and their health-care professionals. It outlines all the issues to consider prior to surgery. Then it maps the road to recovery in chapters that offer week-by-week exercises, practical tips and support. Postoperative rehabilitation is vital to the success of a TKA and is as important to one's life as the surgery itself. The book concentrates extensively on this aspect. It offers 145 exercises, 190 illustrations and photos, and an extensive Q&A at the end of each chapter.
