Postoperatively, your doctor will recommend a short recovery course, similar to that of arthroscopy.
It’s important to note that recovery from The SCP Procedure is different for every patient. However, the following is common for most patients:
- For the first 48-72 hours after surgery, patients will often experience significant pain in the operative area.
- Your doctor will likely prescribe pain medication to treat these symptoms. Follow your doctor’s advice closely.
- For the initial period, most doctors will recommend walking and standing with crutch support. The use of crutches is typically reduced as tolerated.
- Your doctor will also recommend a course of physical therapy and activities to help you regain strength and maintain mobility of your joint.
It is important to follow your doctor’s advice as you recover.
