Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction (ACLR)
Among several tissue graft replacements ACLR is one of the common types. This is a restorative treatment where after surgery an injured knee is gradually being brought to normalcy. The procedure is conducted on the anterior cruciate ligament. Normally, recovery from ACLR takes 6 weeks but can extend longer depending upon specific cases like age and health factors
Meniscectomy
This is performed for juvenile patients only just like knee replacement done on adult and senior patients. It is basically repairing meniscus of knee which is torn and requires surgery. The procedure involves opening up the torn meniscus and eliminating it to reduce the extreme agony the patient is suffering from. It may take 4-6 weeks to recover which again depends on the procedure and patient’s health. If it is arthroscopic surgery, recovery is much faster.
