A doctor has provided 1 answer
Microfract. surgery: Many surgeons have their own post-op rehab protocols based on available research and what has worked best for their particular patient population. In the first few weeks you'll likely be non-weight bearing, have some rom exercises, and gradually move to strengthening. But it's essential you ask your surgeon for your rehab protocol so they can go over it with you in depth and clear up confusion.
