ACL Surgery Recovery Timeline and Expectations

Repairing a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) may only require a short time in the hospital or health care facility. In fact, most ACL surgery patients return home the same day of the procedure.

 

ACL Recovery Timeline

The ACL recovery timeline is a longer process. Listening to the doctor’s after-care procedures and expectations is vital for an optimal outcome. Depending on medical history, each person may have a different ACL recovery timeline.

 

First Two Weeks

During the first two weeks of the ACL recovery timeline, rest is the main priority to help in the healing process.

 

- Use crutches to help keep the pressure and full weight off from the newly repaired area.

- Keep leg elevated with the use of a pillow.

- Follow the doctor’s recommendations for exercises to help reduce the chances of blood clots or other negative issues.

- Use either over the counter or prescribed medication to help reduce pain and swelling.

 

The first two weeks are critical to the healing process. Keeping the entire incision area clean and dry will aid in fighting off infections or other serious health issues. Knowing when to call a health care professional after surgery is a must.

 

- Bleeding from the incisions will not cease and the bandages cannot contain the flow.

- A red streak or line appears around the incision

- The incision area is producing a discharge.

- The inflammation and swelling proceed down the leg into the calf area.

- The patient has a high fever.

- The pain does not subside with the prescribed medication.

 

If anything looks out of the ordinary, asking a health care professional will give a patient peace of mind and prevent any harmful consequences. Do not be afraid to ask questions concerning aftercare procedures for ACL reconstruction surgery.

 

Two to Six Weeks

After the initial resting period in the ACL recovery timeline, the next step is to slowly begin strengthening the area to restore full range of movement.

 

- Crutches should be no longer in use unless directed by the health care professional.

- Beginning to put full weight on the knee

- Slowly working toward full extension of the knee

- A knee brace may be prescribed to help restrict movement

- If comfortable, driving may be allowed.

- Physical therapy begins

 

Six Weeks to Six Months

After six weeks in the ACL recovery timeline, the patient will move toward returning to normal activities at a slow progression. By continuing to exercise and develop strength in the knee area, a full range of movement may be achieved.

 

- The area should be pain-free prior to returning to sports or an exercise routine.

- The orthopedic surgery will need to clear the patient prior to engaging in strenuous activities. Beginning too soon will damage the repair area.

- A brace may be suggested to help keep the knee safe.

 

ACL Surgery Recovery Timeline and Expectations

For premium results during the ACL surgery recovery timeline, listening to a top rated orthopedic specialist is critical. From the initial consultation through the entire recovery process, Dr. Howard Marans  will guide each patient through the steps of the ACL recovery timeline to achieve each level of expectations in the healing process.

Dr. Howard Marans: Arthroscopic Surgeon at Your Service

Anyone who has had an injured knee, or any joint for that matter, realizes the importance of having normally-functioning skeletal system. Just the simple but often-taken-for-granted ability to walk without experiencing knee or ankle pains can be an elusive privilege for many who have severe orthopedic conditions that require surgery. Thanks to medical technological advancement, people who have these conditions can resort to arthroscopic surgery which Dr. Howard Marans routinely undertakes at his clinic.

 

Arthroscopic surgery simply involves the use of a tiny camera called an “arthroscope” to allow the surgeon to see inside a joint. Thus, the camera enables Dr. Marans to conduct accurate diagnosis of any orthopedic condition and provide the proper treatment of various joint problems. In contrast to open surgery, arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive process which is why it is much more preferable than open surgery.

 

Some of the advantages of arthroscopic surgery include the absence of large incisions, thereby allowing the patient to recover fast even without having to stay in a hospital after the operation. As such, bleeding and infection are also minimized with this kind of procedure. Recovery time is also shorter as a result of the minimal invasive nature of the procedure.

 

Arthroscopic surgery is used often in injuries involving such joints as the shoulders, knees, hip, wrist and spine, although it can be used for any joint of the body. Ligament tears and damaged cartilage on the knee can be repaired using this procedure. Dislocated or impinged shoulders, including rotator cuff tears can also be healed through this means.

 

This procedure is frequently used on larger joints to treat certain conditions. Dysplasia of the hips and other conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome of the wrist and herniated discs and other spine conditions are routine procedures done through arthroscopic surgery.

 

Sticks and stones may break our bones; but the handy camera -- of course, in the presence of an experienced doctor such as Dr. Howard Marans – can undo whatever injury they may cause. Bones may not need a selfie; but a happy and healed patient deserves one after a successful surgery.

Dr. Richard “Rich” Isaacs: At your service!

Dr. Isaacs’ credentials, as seen in his web homepage, are not just impressive but awesome in many respects. For one, he not only has a specialization in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery but also has wide grasp and experience in other medical fields, such as cancer (facial skin cancer, jaw tumor, laryngeal cancer, paranasal sinus cancer and thyroid cancer, to name a few) and has been involved in innovative medical care utilizing robotics and computer technology.

Such vast experience and expertise possessed by one physician should not come as a surprise from one who attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor as an undergraduate and finished with honors. Rich, for short, was born and raised in Detroit and took up his medical studies at Wayne State University School of Medicine in that city, graduating, as we would have expected, with honors. 

Rich joined Kaiser Permanente in 1995 and he has Advanced Certification in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery. His specialties include orbital, nasal, and maxillofacial surgery, as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Additionally, Rich is trained in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery and is also highly involved in post-tumor facial reanimation and facial reconstruction surgery. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery as well as of the American College of Surgeons. Rich has also published many articles in various publications.

Rich has a passion for teaching and has trained medical students, residents and fellows from the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Drexel University College of Medicine (Philadelphia), and Northstate University School of Medicine (Elk Grove) where he teaches as a Professor of Otolaryngology. Serving as a teacher-doctor could be considered one of the highest accomplishments any professional or any person can have, for that matter. Skills and knowledge can grow not just through study and research but through passing them on to more people who can practice them as well as improve them for more people to benefit from.

As a Physician-In-Chief, Rich has proven his himself to be a good leader as well as a trusted practitioner. In April of 2005, He was appointed to the Physician-In-Chief position for the South Sacramento and Elk Grove Medical Facilities. He supervises 450 physicians and more than 3,000 nurses and staff who care for the 210,000 Kaiser Permanente members in the South Sacramento and Elk Grove areas. Rich also serves as the Medical Director of operations, including all inpatient and outpatient departments. He also works as the Chief Medical Officer for the 290 bed Acute Care Hospital and ACS Level II Trauma Center.

Does Rich still have time to do something else? 

We all know doctors are quite busy people but they do find time to enjoy life. Hence, as impressive as Rich’s credentials may appear, he does find time to be an active sportsman, being an Alpine Member at the National Ski Patrol. And while he is at that, he likewise provides comprehensive care to injured skiers at the Tahoe Donner Ski Resort. Now, that is impressive as well as admirable – having a great, exhilarating time and serving fellow sports-enthusiasts when they need medical care.

What can we say but present to you Dr. Richard “Rich” Isaacs – at your service! He must enjoy what he is doing.
