Queston about ACL

Over the internet, you can got lots of information about ACL

In Hong Kong, this surgery is supposed to be done by orthopaedic surgeons. The operation can be performed either in private hospital or pubic Hospital (HA Hospital)
In our setting, ACL reconstructon can usually be done 1 months after your initial injury. Sometimes, there may be associated meniscus injury which may require repaire at the same time.
Current practice for ACL reconstruction in Hong Kong is hamstring graft (i.e. the two small tendon over the posteromedial part of your thigh) using bio-absorbable screw. It could be single bundle technqiue or double bundle technique.
The surgery usually can be finshed in 2 hour and general hospital stay should be around 2-3 days.
After the operation, you need rehabilitation which could be done in Hong Kong or in your own place (I suppose you are studying somewhere, as young people are the commonest age-group that have this sort of injury).

Lastly, if you want the surgery to be done by private, I can list you some reliable orthopaedic surgeon if you like.(P.S: not all orthopaedic specialist is good in this surgery, unrelated to their fee!)

You have a totally ruputre ACL, however, it doesn't mean that you need a ACL reconstruction surgury.
ACL reconstruction surgery got many side effect such as permant decrease in joint range, prolong pain, weaken hamstring or patellar ligament, weaken joint balance .

As a phsyiotherapist, what we all do is preserve a human body, but not remove the problem by a surgery and replace the injury tissue with creating another wound. Some of this kind of problem or surgery may also cause a prolong side effect as more joint and walking problem.
If you have chance, go and have a full checking on your knee from a mannual phsyiotherapist, who may treat you problem without surgery.
