A member asked:
Pt 4 acl? i just had a arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on my left knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Physical therapy is needed after acl reconstruction. Some surgeons begin pt immediately, while others may wait a week or 2 after surgery to start. Pt will regain motion, and strengthen the leg.
