⚠️ This tool does not replace medical advice.
It is a simplified, generic drawing made for education — it is not your X-ray, not diagnostic, and not a treatment recommendation. Real implants, sizes, materials and surgical methods differ between people and surgeons. Always ask your own surgeon or care team about your operation. We do not give medical advice, and this tool does not tell you how to move, what to do or what to avoid.

When can I drive, return to work and start physiotherapy after my operation?
Which symptoms should make me call you or go to emergency, and who do I call out of hours?
When is my follow-up, and will I need X-rays?
Which type of implant did I have, and where can I find its details for my records?
