Course Description:

With an increasing demand for knee replacement procedures, clinicians require up-to-date
information on surgical and rehabilitation techniques. Starting with an overview of the history of
knee arthroplasty, this course compares minimally invasive and traditional knee arthroplasty
methods such as mobile-bearing versus fixed-bearing surfaces. Dr. John O’Halloran describes
the phases of postoperative rehabilitation and range of motion methods, including continuous
passive motion and neuromuscular electrical stimulation, using numerous patient demonstration
videos. The course finishes with an in-depth discussion of recommendations for return to activity
following knee arthroplasty.
