Question 1

what are the big differences in the rehabilitation of acl reconstruction ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Physical therapy for ACL post-op patients is somewhat standard; the difference is the physical therapist and his/her likes/dislikes regarding exercise choices; and your overall medical history.

Question 2

how long will rehabilitation after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament be?

Accepted Answer

2-3 months: Intensive therapy to regain range of motion, reduce swelling and then regain strength will last between 2-3 months.  Long term strengthening will be necessary, for best results, for up to 1-2 years after surgery.  This long term strengthening can be done at home or at the gym.

Question 3

does hypertrophy strength training work during the latter stage rehabilitation of an acl injury?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It makes movement more energy saver.

Question 4

badminton coach.did an mri.report says full tear of acl and grade2 injury to mcl.reconstruction n rehabiltation please explain..can i be back to my game?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You will be able to return to badminton after you heal fully from the acl reconstruction surgery. Usually, it take 1year before you can compete. You will be able to practice at about 5months depending on how your healing progresses. Even professional athletes require 1 year to return to sports. Just ensure that your surgery is performed by a sports medicine specialist.

Question 5

acl and meniscus reconstruction surgery done. what is the rehabilitation period for recovery?

Accepted Answer

6-12 mos: Acl: generally speaking.  12 wks for straight line jogging, 6 mos for pivoting activity.  12 mos for full recovery.  Maybe a bit longer if allograft used.

Meniscus:  most meniscal surgeries are a meniscectomy rather than a repair.  Meniscectomy recovery is about 1-2 months depending upon other factors.
Meniscal healing after a repair is not a guarantee.  It takes 6-12 months for full healing.

Question 6

post acl exercise?

Accepted Answer

Depends : If you had surgery, you should follow you'd doctors protocol.  If not you want to emphasize full motion, and straight ahead activities,  if your knee wobbles or locks it should be checked and surgery considered.

Question 7

where is your acl located?

Accepted Answer

Deep in the middle: Deep in the middle obliquely connecting the thigh bone to the leg bone. It provides stability especially rotational stability required in pivoting movements.

Question 8

afraid about acl resonstruction?

Accepted Answer

Discuss your fears: with your orthopedic surgeon &amp; educate yourself before hand about the procedure and aftercare/recovery.

Question 9

where is the acl located exactly?

Accepted Answer

ACL location: Acl runs inside your knee from the posterolateral distal femur to the anteromedial aspect of the tibia, in the knee joint. I tell patients it roughly runs in the same direction as putting your hands in your pocket.

Question 10

how to determine if i tore my acl?

Accepted Answer

Please see link...: "acl is the medical abbreviation for the anterior cruciate ligament. The acl is one of four major ligaments of the knee and stops the lower leg (tibia) from moving forward in relation to the thigh (femur) while providing rotational stability of the knee joint. Two bundles of fiber combine to make the acl..."
