| As with any surgery, rehabilitation
is an important part of the recovery. There may be several restrictions on
your work and leisure activities immediately following surgery. You will
be giving postoperative instruction that will detail exercises that you are
to do on your own as well as information on other activities that may be
helpful and activities you should avoid until your doctor has given you approval.
If significant rehabilitation
services are needed in the form of physical therapy or occupational therapy,
outpatient therapies can be obtained, or in even more severe cases, inpatient
therapies may be ordered or arrangements made for inpatient stays in a rehabilitation
unit.
