InterventionMultidisciplinary home rehabilitation compared to conventional multidisciplinary rehabilitation at hospital with follow-ups at 12 weeks after randomisation and 12 months after surgery.

Those randomised to control group will be at hospital as long as necessary and those randomised to intervention/experimental group have home rehabilitation as long as necessary but not longer than 10 weeks.
