In ACL Surgery, we take a graft of tendon from the body of the patient and reconstruct the torn ligament. If the surgeon is confident about the strength of the graft and the fixation method used by him, the patient does not need any support to walk. He can walk on the next day of surgery without any walker/stick/ crutches or even brace around the knee joint.
Since we use either hamstring or BPTB graft, the rehabilitation protocol is very quick.
No rest is given to patient
He/she starts walking next day of surgery without any support at his/her own feet
Knee bending is started on day 1 of surgery.
Most patients get full knee bending in around 2 weeks
Patient can drive a four wheeler at 10-14 days after surgery
Patient can start stair climbing on next day of surgery.
In around 2-4 weeks, patient is sent to gym to start strengthening exercises
In around 2 months, jogging and jumpint is added
Patients are usually able to start practice game in around 4 months after surgery
Full game is possible after 6 months of surgery.
