Let me explain: Usually will be in the hospital for at most three days, they get you up the second and will sent home with pt at home. It depend in general health, you should able to walk in three weeks. Complete recovery in about three month.

6-10 weeks: You should be about 90% recovered at 6 weeks and see improvement for several more months. Most people return to normal activities at the 6-10 week time frame. Surface replacement can often require a larger incision and dissection than tha and could lead to a slightly longer recovery.
