My husband was just told by his doctor that not only is his ACLAcl reconstruction torn but his MeniscusMeniscus tears is torn also reqiring surgery. how soon can he expect to recover if he remains positive and does everything he can to assist with the healing?
Thanks
if they do only a scope (3holes 1cm long) than the recovery time is pretty short - he should be able to walk out of the hospital on his own (limping of course and with cratches, but mostly on his own)
if they will make an incision(i forget the lengh, about 3-4in) to repair the acl, than the recovery time will be a little more significant.
but a week after surgery make sure ur husbant starts doing therapy, even with your help at home.
he will be just fine.
good luck
thanks
