After having an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) replacement surgery, your surgeon should send you to a physical therapist. The job of the physical therapist is to prescribe different exercises in order to properly heal after the surgery. The exact physical therapy program will differ between each patient, based on their individual results. Also, the length of your physical therapy program will depend on how you progress through the different exercises. It is important to see a physical therapist after surgery to make sure that your body heals properly. If your surgeon for some reason does not send you to a physical therapist, make sure to request one.

What is the success rate of replacement therapy for hemophilia?
Replacement therapy is very effective in treating hemophilia. In the past 35 years the clotting factor concentrates have become better and safer to the point where a person with hemophilia has a near normal life expectancy, and many who use prophylaxis (preventative treatments) as their replacement therapy see little to no loss in their physical abilities or their quality of life. Unfortunately a small percentage of the population develops what are known as inhibitors. Inhibitors are basically an immune response to the clotting factor protein. The antibodies can quickly wipe out the clotting factor making replacement therapy useless. Many of these rare individuals can successfully treat the inhibitor with what is termed Inhibitor Override Therapy. If override therapy works, replacement therapy should also become successful.
