Is it bad to soak in a hot tub after acl repair?

Hot tub: Ask your physician, but should be ok if the wounds are completely healed.

Yes and No: In the first few weeks after surgery you shouldn't soak your wounds in water for prolonged periods especially warm water. There is a risk that they will open up. The thinner you are the greater the risk. However once your surgeon tells you it is safe (it depends on how your wound was closed) there is no danger..Just ice when you get out.
