Abstract
A 57-year-old obese man was referred to a physical therapist 14 weeks after left knee arthroplasty due to loss of function and worsening symptoms. Following examination, due to the worsening and progressive weakness that is atypical after this surgery, the physical therapist and surgeon agreed to refer the patient to the emergency department. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed T11-12 spinal canal stenosis with cord compression. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(12):724. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9655</i>.
