Can I weightbear after my total joint replacement?
Weightbearing/Therapy: You may begin weightbearing as tolerated on the affected leg with the use of a walker or crutches after surgery. You may transition to a single crutch or a cane at your own pace. Please continue with the range of motion exercises as instructed by the physical therapist in the hospital until pain-free range of motion from 0 to 120 degrees is obtained.
