Post-operative care isn't just about what comes after surgery — it's about what we learn during it. By assisting in theatre, our clinical team captures critical surgical details first-hand, enabling a more tailored and responsive recovery plan. From the moment you leave the operating table, we're already working toward your return to work, life, and function.
Because we were there during your surgery, we can predict challenges and milestones more accurately. Here's what a typical orthopaedic recovery looks like – modified to suit your specific case:
Focus on rest and protection. We'll address expected pain and swelling based on surgical approach.
Tissue healing progresses. Your rehab is matched to the exact structures repaired.
Strength and range are rebuilt with physiotherapists looped in early and briefed on intraoperative findings.
We assess return-to-work readiness based on both recovery progress and surgical integrity.
Your recovery is unique. Our involvement in theatre lets us tailor it from the inside out.
With our Assistant Surgeons involved from scalpel to rehab, you receive more informed, integrated post-operative care.
