After Knee replacement surgery can I knee down?

Hello. Thank you for writing.

Do you mean kneeling? Activities that overload the artificial knee must be avoided. About 90 percent of patients with arthritic knees before surgery will have better motion after a total knee replacement. Kneeling will not damage the replacement, but 50% of patients do not like the feel of it and have difficulty with kneeling after knee replacement.
