Transcript Highlights
Dr. Lupo confirms the visit is two and a half weeks after surgery and asks the patient to demonstrate knee extension, flexion, squats, and high-knee steps.
The patient reports being off pain medication for more than a week. The patient distinguishes an itching sensation at night from pain and says a cane is not needed on flat ground.
Dr. Lupo notes that formal therapy is not necessary at that point and recommends continuing the exercises independently.
Transcript highlights are edited for clarity and brevity while preserving the substance of the recorded conversation.
