Hello,

You are asking a complicated question. Recovery time depends on the age of the patient, the procedure being performed and the location of the surgery.

If the surgery involves removing a tumor and setting a bone, healing times will vary depending on the bone that is involved. There will also be the recommendation for exercises to be performed daily. There might also be a recommendation for postoperative radiation and or chemotherapy which also effects recovery time.

Spinal surgery has separate needs and recovery times.

Good luck. It is best to talk to your doctor and ask this question for specific information.
1 to 3 months.
Up to 12 months.
