Many times we talk about being 'cleared' for surgery. That may imply a guarantee that nothing bad will happen. In reality complications do occur.
A better term is to be 'optimized' for surgery. Here I will share will you the common diseases, or organ systems, that we look at to make patients safer prior to their surgery to minimize the risk of a complication.

You missed one… Just got my Handbook and it mentions very specifically to make sure as much as possible that you have all DENTAL work done as well as teeth cleaned as far ahead of surgery as possible as the bacteria can travel in the blood to the KNEE Replacement site and cause infection. Having dental work up to date prior to surgery also minimizes complications of having to have possible emergency dental work done while recuperating over the critical months following surgery.

Yes good point, something we cover in the office. It is recommended to avoid routine dental treatments for one month prior and three months after. You might find this video helpful too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7-Fo7ejp9jJqmQ.html

I stopped smoking Cigarettes 7 months ago for several reasons. One is because I would have disqualified myself from Knee Replacement Surgery (I was told by my Orthopedic Doctor to Quit Smoking), I did it. My knee is swollen and my ankle is swollen too. I think it's because of prior injuries. A chipped bone at the bottom of the Femur and a Torn Meniscus that happened 3 years ago. I can't barely take the pain anymore. It hurts every step I take and sometimes the knee "catches" and that really hurts and makes me stop in my tracks,because the pain is like getting stabbed in the knee with a knife! I was told in 1976 (when I was 16), by Doctor Perlman to practice Mental Healing Techniques to help speed up the healing. It's actually been proven that the Mind can speed up the Healing. Metaphysics works. I have studied Chakras and Crystals too. I have read books. I know what Crystals can do in specific ways and situations. I wish that this was taught more, because I truly believe that Crystals are beneficial for healing techniques. I'm not saying that I'm an expert, but I'm not a Rookie. I'm just knowledgeable is sufficient to say. I'm struggling with my Anxiety. I really REALLY Appreciate your videos. Very thorough! I believe that you covered all the bases!

I’m getting mine in March 2024. I’m walking 4 miles a day. Biking. Lifting. Even the day of. I’m 53.

Wow. How are you able to do these activities if you need a knee replacement? I'm 53 and had both done a month ago. I couldn't hardly walk before my surgery.
