What size should I order if my leg is swollen after knee surgery?

Order your normal size. The side-opening design accommodates post-surgical swelling. If between sizes, size up.

How long will I need adaptive clothing after knee surgery?

Weeks 1–6 matter most. Many continue through week 12. Your physiotherapist will confirm when to return to regular clothing.

Will it fit over a knee brace?

Yes. The full side-opening design wraps around the leg, accommodating any brace or bandage.

What to wear instead of a dhoti after knee surgery?

A wide-leg elastic-waist pyjama. Dhotis require deep hip flexion unsafe for 6–8 weeks post-surgery.

Can I sit cross-legged after knee replacement?

Not for 3–6 months. Cross-legged sitting requires deep knee flexion beyond safe limits.

Knee Surgery Recovery Clothing

Recovering from knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or meniscus repair means weeks of limited mobility, a bulky knee brace, and a strict physiotherapy schedule. Standard clothing is not designed for any of this. Tight trouser legs won't fit over a knee brace. Jeans and fitted pyjamas require bending and twisting that stress the surgical site. Even loose pyjamas can bunch under a compression bandage and cause skin irritation.

Aasra's knee surgery recovery collection solves this with side-opening adaptive lowers that fit easily over knee braces, compression stockings, and bandages. The full side opening closes with a flat velcro press -- you dress seated without bending past 90 degrees, without pulling fabric over a swollen joint, and without needing help from a second person.
