Patient is a 60 year old female. Approximate weight is 120 lbs. Height is 5'7". Runs 25 miles per week. Non-diabetic. No major health issues.
I know that recovery time can vary widely, but what are the usual outcomes for a patient as described above undergoing TKN? Specifically, if she gets a TKN in July, could she return to a job like teaching elementary school by August? Roughly how long will it take her to recover to the point that she can go throughout her day with minimal issues?
