I have had both hips replaced and now they want to do both knees this year- I am okay with that but just want to know what issues I will face in the future with having all 4 joints replaced. I am concerned about muscle strength and stability of the joints- falling easily is a concern. BTW I am only 61
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had previously THR and now planning for TKR, it will surely be beneficial in your mobility. But before going the operation you need to first undergo a proper physical therapy rehabilitation of the hip and knee so the outcome score post surgery will go well. In my practice experience such cases needs thorough examination and implementation of exercises to make the stability of the joints and get better outcome score. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
