In the video, licensed physical therapist Tony Maritato, PT addresses a common complaint among total knee replacement patients: the tight band feeling around the knee that can persist for months post-operation. Maritato, PT suggests that this sensation may be caused by the implant on top of the tibia, which alters the force load through the tibia and the knee joint. Another possible cause is the tightness in the connective tissue that makes up the joint capsule, especially if there is residual swelling.
While the tight band sensation tends to reduce over time, there is no specific resolution or exercise that can eliminate it immediately. Maritato notes that it is normal for patients to continue feeling this sensation 6 to 18 months post-operation or even after overexertion. However, many patients eventually stop feeling the sensation altogether, indicating that it is likely to go away with time.
