Prepare the conversation

Recovery Conversation Map

Choose the closest procedure family to organise the questions that matter at discharge, follow-up, and return to activity. The map never tells you to progress rehabilitation or clears you for an activity.

Which procedure is closest?

Confirm the exact operation with your team. A repair can change the plan completely.

Choose a procedure family to build a question map. No answer is stored or sent.

Why questions are safer than generic milestones

Two people can have the same operation on paper and different operations in reality: what the surgeon finds inside, the quality of the tissue, and what could be repaired versus trimmed all change the plan. That is why honest patient education explains uncertainty, and why the protocol sheet your surgical team hands you beats any website, including this one.

This map is useful for preparing a conversation about leave, physiotherapy, family support, follow-up, and progression criteria. It deliberately does not tell you when to drive, work, exercise, or return to sport.
