Factors Influencing Duration

The duration of recovery is affected by the severity of the individual's symptoms, the presence of infection, or other complications, and whether surgery is required. If surgery is required, the method (laparoscopic or open) of surgery, presence of surgical complications, and the individual's ability to heal also will affect the duration of recovery. If surgery is not required, recovery may vary, depending on the individual's response to any prescribed medication (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], antibiotics).

Differences may exist between the duration tables and the reference graphs. Duration tables provide expected recovery periods based on the type of work performed by the individual. The reference graphs reflect the actual experience of many individuals across the spectrum of physical conditions, in a variety of industries, and with varying levels of case management. Selected graphs combine multiple codes based on similar means and medians.
