It is common to experience pain after any foot or ankle surgery. A combination of rest, analgesia, and regional anaesthetics performed by Dr Oosthuysen should help alleviate pain.

Dr Oosthuysen typically takes one to three hours to complete most foot and ankle surgeries.

It can take anywhere between three to four months for most foot and ankle surgeries to heal, but it may take longer, depending on the surgery and its complexity. Dr Oosthuysen will provide you with all the information about recovery from your surgery.

Depending on the nature of the injury and the extent of the procedure being carried out, the length of trauma surgery might vary substantially. Minor operations like removing a small foreign body or realigning a straightforward fracture could only take a few hours. More complex procedures, including spinal fusion or the restoration of a badly damaged organ, can take a full day or longer for Dr Oosthuysen to perform.

Depending on the treatment and the particular patient, recovery following trauma surgery varies. While some patients may be able to resume their regular activities within a few weeks, others might need several months of recovery and rehabilitation.

A hip arthroplasty typically takes 1-2 hours to complete.

Individuals heal at different rates following hip replacements. Most patients can resume their regular daily activities within two to six months of surgery.

Hip arthroplasty recovery typically entails the following steps:

• Follow-up appointments
• Pain management
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Self-care
• Weight-bearing restrictions

In order to ensure a secure and effective recovery, it's critical to adhere to Dr Oosthuysen's recommendations and treatment plan.
