Thank you for this video, first time have seen scrapping knee & use of band wrapped around knee while squatting to help break up scar tissue after TKR. Will have to remember after my op soon.
I don’t understand why my dr never recommended any of this….we did the nerve block 4 week ago, but this haven’t resolved anything… you have blessed me so much with these videos
When you have finished your PT and are fully independent with you home exercise this would be great. If you are still actively going to PT, you would need to talk to your PT so that you don't rush into this routine. However, this would be an excellent way to get your surgical side to gain a ton of mobility. We have great results when we use this with our TKR patients.
It really depends on why the knee is swollen. Sometimes an individual can decrease that inflammation through movement, and self treatment, as demonstrated by this video. However, if the individual has too acute of an injury, or has something more traumatic and still unaddressed (like chondromalacia, or a tear in muscle or ligament), then it’s really important that they address that before beginning this video.
Arthrofibrosis is so tough. You could definitely do what’s in this video, but you may need to work with someone like us to help you to navigate a custom path forward. We believe in you, and look forward to hearing about your success down the line.
I had partial knee replacements on both my inner knees, four years ago. I still have a heavy tightness like a rubber band wrapping around my knees. Can this procedure help because I don’t know if it’s scar tissue why it’s so tight ! It is a horrible continuous sensation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! Thank you for asking this. We're sorry this has been bothering you for so long, and believe that this will be helpful for others to read as well. We've had countless patients with knee replacements - both partial, and full - and we would definitely have them perform this same routine. Try this, and give us updates along the way. Do not push past what you can tolerate. Do what you can tolerate and you should see significant improvement over four to six weeks. If you have someone local to you who is like us, and you feel like you need some extra attention, you should consider consulting with them. You can always work with us if you want. Just let us know.
You 100% can get back to it!! These exercises are still great, and can be done with both knees, or just one. Our advice to you is, more than anything else, prioritize regaining your squat flexibility in the beginning, and then begin to think about how many reps, or how much weight. Goblet squats with a pause at the bottom are fantastic. You can do steps ups to work on strengthening your quads as you regain your ability. We will record a how to video for this soon!
Yes. We stayed pretty general here. Maybe we can do a long format on this one if you’d like? Surgery is a common cause. The others include: injury or trauma, inflammation or infection, radiation therapy, disease, long term dialysis, and genetic factors. Generally we’re talking about surgery, injury or trauma, and inflammation. We do have some patients with genetic causes at the moment, but they’re not the majority.
Great question! Sorry to hear that happened. In cases where a person has undergone knee surgery like your's, excessive scar tissue formation (arthrofibrosis) can sometimes lead to complications that affect patellar stability. It's certainly possible that adhesions, or scar tissue, caused the patella to track incorrectly and come out of position. This video should truly make a difference for you moving forward. Keep us in the loop.
@@MobilityDoc thanks for the quick response! I don’t have any visible or noticeable scar tissue under the skin. my knee moves normally with no pain, it just feels a little unstable in certain positions. I can squat, jump, sprint, but when it’s bent and twisted in a slight angle I immediately feel vulnerable. I‘ve been thinking I could have scar tissue in the grove where the patella should be sitting when my knee is bent which is causing it to dislocate easier. I’m no doctor and I don’t know if that’s even a possibility, can the scar tissue form on the bone and knee cap itself or is it usually just under the incision and under the skin?
@@gentrysipe there are multiple types of scar tissue. Really what we're talking about is more adhesions, and quite possibly lines of fascial tension. Some of your instability could be a matter of continuing to vary your exercises in order to expose all possible corners of weakness. Some of it is possibly post injury and/or post surgical tension. This video we made explains what type it could be: ruclips.net/video/1Cwd5y_ISL4/видео.html

Is this something for after total knee replacement?
When you have finished your PT and are fully independent with you home exercise this would be great.

However, this would be an excellent way to get your surgical side to gain a ton of mobility. We have great results when we use this with our TKR patients.
Thankyou but what do you do when the knee is still swollen

Hi! In the info section of this video we put the link for you.

You are awesome
What if one knee was done, but other not yet? I haven't squatted in YEARS!?

would you have scar tissue without having had surgery ??
Yes. We stayed pretty general here. Maybe we can do a long format on this one if you’d like? Surgery is a common cause.

PS: thank you for asking this
Can scar tissue cause patella dislocation?
I had MPFL surgery 16 months ago and my knee just dislocated doing a pigeon pose.
