A member asked:
How quickly after severed tendon surgery should you seek physio therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asked Surgeon.: Much will depend on the type of injury as well as a type of surgery performed. Only your surgeon should provide you with answers to this type of question. The exact physiotherapy performed should also be guided by your surgeon. Best wishes.
