Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Has anyone been told anything about limits of range of motion for a total knee? I know my surgeon said he made sure I had 135 degrees in the OR, but I don't think I've ever seen anything about there being a contraindication about going to some degree of flexion that might dislocate or cause other problems. I ask for a couple of reasons. First, I can bring my knee to my chest lying supine to almost 135 degrees, although I can't do nearly that sitting, and lying on my stomach, I'm very aware of how tight it is, getting no more than 90 degrees. The second reason I ask is that my habitual sleep position is to be almost on my stomach, on right side, with my left knee flexed up as far as possible. Marilyn? Anyone? y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
