frequently asked questions

When can I return to my normal activities
Depending on the treatment you have will depend on how long it takes to recover. Also, consider that individuals recover at their own pace. Your recovery will be discussed at your consultation. Also there may be a requirement for further treatment such as physiotherapy following your surgery.
How long before I can walk again after surgery on my knee?
This will depend on the surgery that you have had. Following a knee replacement we would generally say around 6 weeks post-surgery. Again this will depend on the individual.
