Dr. suggest me an operation. but after 6 week. can you please suggest me what to do & when.? & how much the time required for recovery.!
Surgical repair should be undertaken at the earliest. Nowadays minimal invasion arthroscopic surgery can also be done. The functional recovery is good within few weeks and guided exercise and movement shall be permitted as soon as healing occurs. Depending on technique adopted, your surgeon may mobilize you.
