Within this small number of cases, early full weight-bearing and gait exercise from 7 days after cemented TAA was feasible and safe with the modified antero-lateral approach. Combination of early dorsiflexion mobilization and weight-bearing/gait exercise contributed to shortening the hospitalization day, and improving ROM for both dorsiflexion and plantar flexion after surgery. Innovations in postoperative procedures for rehabilitation after TAA can be expected.
