What to Expect Recovery is different for every patient, but understanding the general stages can help you feel more prepared. Here’s what may happen before surgery and as you begin to move, heal, and return to daily life. Before Surgery Meet with your surgeon, complete any recommended testing, review medications, and prepare your home for recovery. Day of Surgery Your procedure is performed, and many patients begin walking within hours under the guidance of their care team. Early Recovery: Days 1-7 Begin physical therapy, manage discomfort, and gradually increase your range of motion as your recovery progresses. Rebuilding Strength: Weeks 2-6 Continue therapy and everyday movement as strength and confidence improve. Some patients with sedentary jobs may return to work during this stage.
