Does acl reconstruction require a hospital stay?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: generally what we mean by reconstruction is close to the complexity and length of a joint replacement. so... yes. If it is a smaller repair, like just removing a broken fragment, then would be short/no hospital visit.

Rarely: Unless one has other medical co-morbidities, highly unlikely you will need a hospital stay.
