Hi,
I am in discussions with my doc about knee replacement. Currently I do yoga which helps my back and other joints. Several of the poses (like Child's pose) have the knee bent nearly 180 degrees - like when you sit on your calves.
QUESTION: Is there any physical limitation of the replaced joint to regaining ALL of your original range? Or is it that the soft tissues and scar tissue effectively restrict the replaced joint?
Also, a partial knees better in this regard?
Thanks very much..
