Can I climb stairs after the operation?

In the early stages of recovery, climbing stairs can put extra strain on the knee and graft, so it’s important to take care. Your physiotherapist will teach you safe techniques to manage stairs, especially in the early days. If your bedroom is upstairs, you may wish to set up a temporary sleeping space downstairs until you’re confident on your feet. As your recovery progresses, you’ll gradually return to normal stair use under guidance from your physiotherapist.
