Acl, partial meniscectomy,early arthriti
Sir I am 19 year old and done my ACL RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY using hamstring (Autograft) and partial meniscectomy(MEDIAL) . I am obese. Now my only concern is early osteoarthritis. Reach studies show that osteoarthritis can be seen one year later acl surgery on MRI. IS THAT TRUE?? CAN I GO BACK TO FOOTBALL. DOES OSTEOARTHRITIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME??
That's not true .. ND u can go back to football or any game but u need to get rid of all adhesions ND scared formed in acl pcl mcl lcl due to post operative immobilization ND the results of repair process
Next Steps
U need to approach to a sports physio who is expertise in Ligamentous dry needling kinesio taping and manual therapy... U will be back to your desired positions in 10_15days with subsequent 5-6 follow-ups
Health Tips
Change physios if u don't get relief but never approach or change an orthopedics surgeon
