Post an year to ACL surgery

2018-02-06 14:35:21
I had an ACL reconstruction surgery and meniscetomy in Dec 2016. I have followed the prescribed physiotherapy and recently, started basic workout. During one session, I had some pain and underwent MRI. Scan shows complete tear of reconstructed ACL, bucket-handle tear of medial meniscus and complex tear of lateral meniscus. Is it even normal after more than one year of the surgery and please suggest what should I do next?

Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain. Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day. Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day. Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).

As far as Surgery is concerned,you would need it eventually. The earlier the better. But before that, detailed evaluation needs to be done regarding other factors that lead to a failure of ACL twice in your case. Please visit an orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in Arthroscopic Surgery.

You need Arthroscopic surgery again. (ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy or repair) considering your age.
