Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

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.
