Sir,
My ortho experience is limited mostly to clinicals While in school I did do a rotation on the ortho floor with mostly knee replacement.s and repairs.
As far as rom the nurses and therapists used a gauge that actually measuered the ROM of the involved joint and wanted pts to go a few mm past that.
I recommend you write these questions down on paper, and ask each and every one until they are answered to your satisfaction when you begin physical therapy. Also, I recommend keeping a diary of your PT and daily experience with your knee in general ie expercise done, pain including quaility and quantity, and set backs ie slips, litttle twists etc. This is especially useful if something happens or there are complications. They should give you several pamphlets of material too.
Google until you become a lay expert on your injury and repair.
And mostly, do everything they say, no less and only a little more-
ccrn
