My husband had knee operation 2.1/2 weeks ago and we booked a holiday for next Monday in Turkey. Someone told me you are not allowed to fly for a month after an operation which means we have lost our money! Help!!

Post operative hospitalization varies from 1 day to an average of 7 days depending on the health status of the patient and the amount of support available outside the hospital setting. Usually full range of motion is recovered over the first two weeks (the earlier the better). Walking with protected weight bearing begins almost immediately after surgery. At 6 weeks patients have usually progressed to full weight bearing with a cane. Complete recovery from the operation involving return to full normal function may take 3 months and some patients notice a gradual improvement lasting many months longer than that. Factors such as quad-sparing surgery, pre-operative function, weight, and recovery regimen may shorten or lengthen recovery time.You call always call the hospital to check.
