There are many variables..ie type of injury, Arthritis, age, expectations etc..but I would say in general in 6-9 months it is going to be at maximum improvement.
One hundred and sixty-two patients with a diagnosis of scapholunate instability underwent a modified Brunelli procedure over a 7-year period. One hundred and seventeen were assessed with the help of a questionnaire and, of these, 55 patients attended for clinical evaluation. The mean follow-up was 4 (1-8) years. There were 72 patients with dynamic scapholunate instability and 45 patients with static instability. The average age was 38 years. There were 50 males and 67 females. A total of 77 (62%) patients had no to mild pain with a mean visual analogue score of 3.67 (SD = 2.5). The loss in the arc of flexion-extension was due to a reduced range of flexion (mean loss 31%), while 80% of extension was maintained, compared with the contralateral side. The grip strength on the operated side was reduced by 20% of the non-operated side. There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). in the range of movement or the grip strength between the static and dynamic group and patients with or without legal claims. Ninety (79%) patients were satisfied with the result of the surgery (good to excellent) and 88% of the patients felt that they would have the same surgery again. We feel that these results compare favourably with the early results published from this unit and recommend this procedure for dynamic and static scapholunate instability.
This procedure of course some very serious risks, such as complications can lead to severe paralisys. Recovery for this procedure should take about 6 to 8 weeks.
Full recovery from the Maze procedure takes six to eight weeks. Upon release from the hospital, the patient will feel weak because of the extended bed rest in the hospital.
The entire procedure should take about an hour, not counting preparation and recovery time.
the procedure will take less than a hour you most likely will spend about another hour recovering
While everyone is different, recovery from a TURP procedure is relatively fast because it is done through the arethra and there are no incisions.
Recovery from a Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure requires two to six days of hospitalization.
The procedure generally takes from 90 minutes to two hours to perform, but the preparation and recovery time add several hours to the overall procedure time.
Adult myringotomy--how long is the recovery?
"Typical knee liposuction recovery time is about a month, sometimes it can take longer. Knee liposuction is a very invasive procedure so it may take a long time for your body to recover."
The procedure is minimally invasive, and results in very little blood loss and short recovery times.
The benefit of prolotherapy is that it is a non-surgical procedure that can be administered in a clinic, saving patients from undergoing anesthesia and surgery followed by a long recovery period.
The recovery time for plastic surgery procedures vary from procedure to procedure. The more invasive/extensive the procedure the longer the recovery time. Rhinoplasty recovery, for example, can take 2-4 weeks.
