Will I need to undergo rehabilitation?

It is important to follow a specific rehabilitation programme, which should be designed by a specialist and supervised by a physiotherapist. As a general rule, rehabilitation will be carried out daily for the first four weeks after the operation, and then intermittent sessions may be carried out for a further four weeks.

In most cases, six weeks after surgery you will be able to perform most everyday activities without the aid of crutches.

Recovery is not a slow process; it does not take many months, nor is it a painful process.
