Normally, patients are admitted to the hospital the same day of surgery. They have their surgery and then stay 3-5 days in the hospital. After the hospital stay, patients routinely go to a rehabilitation unit for physical therapy. Patients are home in 1-2 wks from the day of surgery and can resume their usual activities within 6-8 wks.
