Bike fit post accident recovery considerations

Road rider, Supersix Evo. Very happy with the fit then 9 months ago hit by a car. 4 fractured vertebrae, 2 dislocated. ACDF operation (cage around C7-T1). Not fully recovered yet (shoulder still an issue). Hope 🤞 to ride outdoors by spring. Currently able to train on indoor bike though not yet in aero position (at 85% of pre-accident ftp 😩). When back to road riding how long to establish if any issues are transient or if change of fit needed? If bike not recoverable (bike still with police as evidence pending driver prosecution) then at what stage would a new bike decision/fit be sensible? (would be using winter bike when first back to riding). Thoughts? Any clear guidelines or every recovery different?
