Cement spacers are placed with knee in extension.
Next Steps
Refer to your treating surgeon for post operative instructions as they would be the best judge of the patient's condition.

Please don’t bend the knee if it is a non articulating spacer. It will be removed and new implants will be fixed. You can move after that.
