Spinal Anaesthesia.
Self driven exercises are sufficient.
Screws the doctor must have discussed with you, in short non metallic screws are used to provide interferential fixation.
Most common material for Non metallic fixation screws is PEEK or Biocomposities .
Next Steps
Consult online or physical consultation for ACL reconstruction.
