Most patients are able to resume driving about four to six weeks after surgery. It depends upon which leg was operated on, your range of motion, strength, and coordination. Always check with your surgeon before you resume driving. You should not be driving if you are still taking pain medication.
Please note: These guidelines are specific to surgical approaches and should be approved by your surgeon prior to use for your optimal safety.
