Orthopaedic Care SpecialistsFlorida’s infographic provides a concise, easy-to-understand guide on the essential do’s and don’ts following full knee replacement surgery. Designed for post-operative patients, caregivers, and physical therapy professionals, the visual aid helps ensure a safe recovery and optimal long-term outcomes.

The infographic outlines key “Do’s”, such as following your physical therapy plan, using assistive devices like walkers or crutches, keeping the surgical area clean, and performing gentle exercises to improve flexibility and strength. It encourages patients to listen to their bodies and communicate any unusual pain or swelling to their healthcare provider.

On the flip side, the “Don’ts” highlight critical mistakes to avoid—like skipping medications, crossing your legs, twisting the knee abruptly, or resuming high-impact activities too soon. These warnings help prevent complications such as dislocation, infection, or delayed healing.

With its simple visuals and actionable advice, the infographic serves as a helpful reference throughout the recovery period. It promotes awareness, encourages healthy habits, and supports patients in regaining mobility and independence more confidently after surgery.
