Physiotherapy After ACL Reconstruction: Recovery at Asian Hospital Faridabad

The Asian Institute of Medical Sciences in Sector 21A, Faridabad, is a premier hospital for orthopaedic sports medicine, including ACL reconstruction surgery. This guide covers the complete recovery journey for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction at Asian Hospital.

Asian Hospital's orthopaedic department is well-equipped for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using various graft options including hamstring, patellar tendon, and quadriceps tendon grafts. The surgical protocol is complemented by a structured rehabilitation programme.

Prehabilitation

Before surgery at Asian Hospital, you will benefit from prehabilitation — a 2-6 week programme of exercises to strengthen the knee, restore range of motion, and reduce swelling. Patients who complete prehabilitation have significantly better surgical outcomes and faster recovery.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Timeline

Phase 1 (0-2 weeks): Brace locked in extension, crutches, quadriceps activation. Phase 2 (2-6 weeks): Unlock brace, regain full extension, gentle flexion. Phase 3 (6-12 weeks): Achieve full range of motion, begin strengthening. Phase 4 (3-6 months): Progressive strengthening, running. Phase 5 (6-9 months): Sport-specific training, return-to-sport testing.
