Recovery after knee replacement isn’t immediate—and understanding the timeline is key to setting the right expectations.
As Dr. Jack Steele, MD explains, patients are encouraged to begin weight-bearing right away, meaning you can safely walk and put full weight on your new knee shortly after surgery. However, healing is a gradual process. Pain and swelling take time to improve, and most patients participate in physical therapy for about six weeks to rebuild strength and mobility. Full recovery can take several months, but each step forward brings you closer to restored function and comfort.
At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, we’re committed to guiding patients through every stage of recovery with expert, personalized care—trusted care for Baltimore County and beyond.

Trigger finger may start as a minor annoyance, but it can quickly interfere with everyday activities if left unaddressed.

A sudden pop, rapid swelling, and instability in the knee can all point to an ACL injury. In this video, Dr. Mark Clough, MD explains how these injuries often occur during planting or pivoting movements—frequently without contact—and why early evaluation is key.
At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, Dr. Clough and our team use a combination of patient history, physical examination, and advanced imaging like MRI to accurately diagnose ACL tears and guide the best path forward for recovery. While X-rays help rule out fractures, a thorough clinical exam is often highly effective in identifying ligament injuries right from the start.
