Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why you should read this book.Knee replacement is a procedure in which the patient plays a significant role in determining the outcome. Patient satisfaction is generally lower in Total Knee Replacement compared to Total Hip Replacement. Several factors contribute to this, one of the most imp…ortant being a clear understanding of the likely outcomes and effective communication surrounding the surgical process. In my opinion, achieving an optimal outcome requires that the patient understands what will happen, acknowledges their important role in the result (not just the surgeon's), and maintains realistic expectations. Moreover, complications can be challenging to manage, and preoperative optimization gives the patient the best chance of avoiding problems. If you're the type of person willing to invest some time and effort-not only in recovery but also in preparation before the procedure, then I believe you will find this book helpful.Why did I write this book?I spent the last thirty years of my life in a busy private practice. Over the past twenty years, my elective practice focused exclusively on hip and knee replacements, during which I performed thousands of these surgeries. Additionally, I am a patient myself, having undergone bilateral knee replacements. This dual experience, both as a surgeon and a patient, gives me a unique perspective.Recently retired, I continue to have a strong desire to help patients. This book is not intended to replace your physician's guidance but to enhance your understanding of how your lifestyle choices can positively or negatively impact an upcoming surgery. In my experience, when I scheduled patients for surgery, it was often an emotional time for them. As a result, many patients may have missed important details of my instructions. This book is meant to supplement those conversations. After reading this book, you should have a better understanding of knee anatomy and the general knee replacement procedure, enabling you to ask the right questions. We will discuss factors linked to increased risk of complications, as identified in medical literature, and how you can address these modifiable risk factors. We will cover both the preoperative and postoperative periods to ensure you have a solid understanding and realistic expectations. There is an interlude that discusses satisfaction and provides objective statistical outcomes to help provide a solid framework for patient expectations. The final section will focus on caring for your knee replacement. I have reviewed many other books on knee replacement, and I believe this book offers a different approach. It goes beyond rehabilitation, addressing the entire continuum-from diagnosis to long after surgery. By the end of this book, you should have a strong foundation of knowledge and realistic expectations. I am hopeful that this will lead to greater patient satisfaction and help minimize complications. If this approach resonates with you, please read on! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
