    Your first post-operative visit will be with your surgeon at 2 weeks. This appointment is critical for checking your incision healing and range of motion as well as to answer any questions you may have. You will then follow-up with your surgeon 6 weeks after surgery, 12 weeks after surgery, 6 months after surgery, and one year after surgery. X-rays will be ordered at each visit up until the 3-month mark to ensure that the TTO is healing. At one-year post-op you will discuss with your surgeon your return to higher level activity.
