Q: When can I return to sport after ACL reconstruction?

Return to running typically at 3-4 months. Return to competitive sport at 9-12 months. Early return increases re-injury risk. Criteria include full range of motion, strength >90% of opposite leg, and successful functional testing.

常见问题

When can I return to sport after ACL reconstruction?

Return to running typically at 3-4 months. Return to competitive sport at 9-12 months. Early return increases re-injury risk. Criteria include full range of motion, strength >90% of opposite leg, and successful functional testing.

Is meniscus repair better than removal?

Yes, when repairable. Meniscus preservation reduces long-term arthritis risk. However, repairs only heal in the vascular outer third of the meniscus. Inner tears often require partial removal.

How successful is rotator cuff repair?

Small tears heal in 90% of cases. Large/massive tears have lower healing rates (60-70%). Patient satisfaction is 85-90% even if tear does not fully heal, as pain is usually improved.

Can I avoid surgery for shoulder instability?

First-time dislocations can try conservative management with physical therapy. Recurrent dislocators (>2-3 episodes) typically need surgery to prevent further damage and return to sport.

What is ACL reconstruction China cost for international patients?

ACL reconstruction China cost for international patients is typically $5,000-$6,000 including surgery, graft, and 3-5 day stay, versus $35,000+ in the US—about 80% savings. Meniscus repair and rotator cuff repair at similar savings.
