Medicana Camlica Hospital Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Package

ACL reconstruction is a surgical surgery, and like with any process, it comes with some risks. Discuss these risks with your doctor for a better understanding of how to manage them. The following are some of the possible consequences:

• Blood clots and bleeding
• if the graft comes from a cadaver infection, chronic knee discomfort illness transmission knee stiffness or weakness
• range of motion loss
• If your immune system rejects the transplant, you may experience delayed healing.

Within the first few weeks after ACL surgery, one should aim to regain a range of motion comparable to that of the opposite knee. Recovery takes about 9 months in most cases. Athletes may have to wait 8-12 months or longer before returning to their favourite sports. There is no consensus on when it is safe to travel after an ACL reconstruction. The majority of orthopaedic surgeons advise their patients not to fly for 4 to 6 weeks following ACL reconstruction.
