IMO deadlifts don't need to go over 8 reps and should be as heavy as possible. 15-20 reps is a lot. That rep range is more for strength endurance, not building muscle. If anything, that could be used for back width exercises such as pullups/pulldowns, ect. I understand that you're recovering, but try and keep the deadlifting heavy and within reason. 5-8 reps is good to go.
