yup he can start with physio right away when the cast comes off. the earlier the better. but canuck is right... don't get overzealous with the exercises. timing is of the essence.

as ive said before, my patient just started lifting a little weight in the 3 month mark. at 6 months he had reached his goal to carry his bride accross the threshold. she weighed 95 lbs.

your hubsand's goal of 200 lbs with a complete avulsion will obviously take more time. its hard to say but my best guess is between 7-8 mos post op. try your best to find a properly trained physio to accurately assess his lifting capability weekly.

keep me posted. id like to hear how he's progressing =)
