Knee surgery
You should be ready to stay in the hospital for Knee surgery. Normally it takes 2-3 night stay in the hospital. 7 days are meant for post operation treatment.

ACL surgery needs a graft replaces the torn ligament. Doctor may take for graft from patient’s knee cap or any other areas. The whole procedure is called as Anthroscope performed with only small incisions. The graft is implanted into holes drilled in the tibia and femur, then secured to bone with screws or staples. No graft is needed afterwards. Surgeon’s sutures will do the rest of the job. The incision is closed with sutures, staples, or metal pins, and a bandage is applied.

Once the surgery is done you can use crutches in the beginning. Pain killers will remove pain. To reduce swelling, elevate leg and apply ice pack. Bathing or showering can be resumed 3 days after surgery and avoid exercise other than physical therapy until approved by your doctor. Physical rehabilitation after ACL surgery may take several months to a year. The length of time until you can return to normal activities or sports is different for every person; it may range from 6 to 12 weeks.
