TKA PROM Protocol - October 8, 2007 5:33:27 AM

Status: offline 		I have a 65 y/o male who had a R TKA 6 weeks ago, and then a manipulation under anesthesia 3 weeks ago.  Pre-surgery, he had -8 to 106, and is currently at -5 to 83.  Patella mobility is fairly good.  He currently is suspected of having a superficial infection, and is on antibiotics.

What are the panel's PROM protocols? I have looked at numerous sources to find optimal duration of stretch, use of modalities before/during/after, frequency, etc., but there seems to be little agreement. 

He has been gaining about 5 degrees per week since the manipulation and is using a CPM at home set to 95 degrees.  Any thoughts?

Status: offline 		Why did he have a manipulation 3 weeks after a TKA?  Seems really early to be that aggressive with a manipulation
