Having surgery soon for acl tear lcl instability plc instabilty meniscus tears and osteochondrial lesions need help to understand?
What do you need to understand? Surgery is surgery. I've torn both of my ACL's and I have surgery for each of them. Mentally prepare youself. I don't know what you are going to have done for a procedure, but if it's a hamstring graft for the ACL, they take some of your hamstring and create a graft. They then drill into the bone on the tibia and femur. They pass the graft through the knee and attach it to both ends. It is sutured and screwed in place with sutures and titanium screws and small plates (I think). If you have a bad meniscus tear, they might have to remove it; but sometimes they can stitch it back up agian. If that holds it will take around 6 months to heal completely (just for the meniscus). ACL recovery is about 6 months, yet it varies for everyone, and it depends on your doctor. I'm assuming osteochondrial lesions are bone lesions. I have no experience with that or LCL and PCL instablities, but I am assuming they will remove the bone lesions. For the LCL/PCL, I don't know. Sorry. Hope this helps.
