Whilst we understand that this is an old post, any post operative slowness, or complications should be first and foremost directed to the treating specialist. Thereafter should you have a complaint you should direct that to the hospital where the surgery was performed. Don't dispare as time is paramount in this type of condition.

A general observation would be that this is a rather complicated procedure that would require a prolonged rehabilitative phase to achieve as good an outcome as possible.

Good surgery with poor rehab can give a poor result. Poor surgery with poor rehab can give a poor result. The good news for many is that less that optimal surgery with good rehab can give a good result.

Let's hope this is a case of good surgery just needing good rehab. It would be nice to know how it got on now that it is 1-2 years later.
