Orthopedic surgeries cannot be taken lightly since they affect your mobility. Doctors will only advise surgery as a last resort and only if it will improve the quality of life. Medical advancements have made these surgeries much more efficient with decreased recovery time. The recovery time for orthopedic surgeries vary, depending on the type of surgery, the age of the person and their general health.
If you have decided to go in for an orthopedic surgery, your team of doctors will guide you from start to finish. You can rest assured that after the surgery is over, and sometimes even before you are mobile, you will get a visit from the team’s physiotherapist to make sure that you are progressing well. They will consult with the doctors, assess your range of motion, and the function of the injury site, and the degree of pain you are in and work out a plan to help rehabilitation.
