ACL issue even after one year of surgery
Hi all.
I had Both ACL and PCL surgery for left leg one year ago.
PCL is doing fine now but ACL has only few fibers as per MRI report .
I don't have any issues while walking and stairs climbing but in Lachman test is it indicating loose(lachs).
I consulted two doctors yesterday in Bangalore,
1)One doctor told me for revision surgery and 2)Another doctor told me to have proper exercise as long as you don't have any issues while walking.
I am confused in whether I need to wait and do proper exercise or to go for a revision surgery.
Suggestion are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Ps: Muscle density of leg is low compare to non-operative leg.

Option for surgery is definitely there. But first always try to manage it with physiotherapy. If issues are there then go for surgery.
