Does the length of incision influence the rehabilitation?
No! A bigger incision does not mean that there will be more
damage to the muscular structures. On the contrary, if you
need a bigger incision to get better exposure, the placement
of the implant can be done more precisely. Even with an
incision of 30 cm you are able to walk well after 24 hours.
