Acl tear and damaged meniscus.

2017-07-14 13:06:14
Acl surgery is over. In my ACL RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY hamstring graft (Autograft) is used. During surgery there was a tear in white zone of meniscus (hence the surgeon has trimmed it). MY QUESTION IS :what are the long term effects (negative effect), if any. CAN I go back to sports like football and basketball.
