Is it safe for me to be showering after acl surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: You should check with your surgeon. For my patients i let them shower 24hours after surgery. Some physicians like to wait longer, to make sure you don't get an infection or fall in the shower and hurt your knee again.
