Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- What is the diagnosis, what non-operative options are appropriate and what is the intended functional benefit?
- Ask about weight-bearing or movement restrictions, walking aids and the planned therapy schedule.
- Which postoperative reviews are needed locally, and how will rehabilitation continue at home?
