Post an year to ACL surgery
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?

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.
