How long does acl reconstruction and meniscus repair take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Average 1-2 hours: Average operative time for acl recon. Without additional procedures will be 1-2 hours currently. Just 15-20 years ago, this same surgery averaged 3-4 hours. Add 30 minutes for each meniscus repaired.
