The first steps after the procedure can be taken as early as 1-2 days after the surgery. During the first 3-4 weeks after the procedure, walking is possible with the support of the elbow crutches and with the knee brace. Free walking with full load on the limb without additional support is possible when the physiotherapist determines that the knee is fully prepared and trained for it, and moreover, walking does not cause recurrence of swelling or pain in the joint.
