Abstract
Background: In order to minimise complications and encourage a quicker physical recovery, prompt surgical intervention after orthopaedic injuries is essential. Orthopaedic surgeries are classified as timely if they are completed within 24 to 72 hours, and as delayed if they are completed after 72 hours. Postponed surgeries are frequently linked to longer recovery times, more pain, and worse functional results after surgery. Objective: Assessing and contrasting the physical recovery results of patients who had timely versus delayed orthopaedic surgeries is the goal of this study. Methodology: Over the course of six months, an observational comparative cohort study was carried out at the Narayan Medical College and Hospital's orthopaedics and physiotherapy departments. 40 patients in all who had orthopaedic surgery were included and split equally into two groups: Group B (Delayed Surgery, n = 20) and Group A (Early Surgery, n = 20). Reviewing medical records, using physical evaluation instruments (such as the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain, Range of Motion, and Manual Muscle Testing), and conducting patient interviews with an emphasis on quality of life and rehabilitation progress were all part of the data collection process. Incidence of post-operative complications, time to resume daily activities, muscle strength, joint mobility, and pain levels were among the outcome measures. Results: Patients in Group A (early surgery) recovered considerably more quickly, as evidenced by improved muscle strength, better joint mobility, and lower pain scores in a shorter amount of time. On the other hand, patients in Group B (delayed surgery) had higher stiffness, longer pain durations, and a delayed return to functional independence. They also had higher rates of complications like muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. Conclusion: Orthopaedic surgery that is postponed significantly impairs physical recovery and raises the possibility of complications. These results demonstrate how crucial it is to perform orthopaedic interventions in a timely manner in order to improve patient outcomes. To support these findings, more extensive research is advised.
