Look at the SDI's of the IEP so you can show that you have been following them with examples of how, and then request that the IEP be reopened. At that point ask the team to look at alternative placement.
The surgeon makes an incision across the front of your knee to gain access to the patella, more commonly referred to as the kneecap. In a traditional knee replacement, the incision is usually about 8 to 10 inches long. In minimally invasive knee surgery, the incision is usually about 4 to 6 inches long. The jury is still out as to whether or not the pros of the smaller scar outweigh the cons of a smaller surgical area.
Medications that people receive after knee replacement surgery are given to minimize pain and nausea, prevent blood clots, and reduce the risks of surgical site infections. With time and an emphasis on early mobility, people who receive a knee replacement are finding relief and finally taking steps without pain and discomfort.
