Many sports surgeries use arthroscopy, in which a small camera and instruments are inserted through tiny cuts. It limits tissue damage and usually permits faster rehabilitation.
Rehab has stages, from restoring motion to building strength and sport-specific drills. For ACL reconstruction, return to sport commonly takes about nine to twelve months. Rushing increases the risk of re-injury.
We coordinate MRI review, specialist consultation, surgery, physiotherapy and follow-up planning, and we help you prepare a rehab plan to continue at home.
Usually not completely, though some people manage with rehab, depending on activity needs.
Often on the same or next day, with support.
