Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear - preoperative therapy program

. 

---

About the program:

This program is aimed at preoperative preparation for patients with damage to the anterior cruciate ligament.

You may begin this program after consulting your physician or a member of our team. It is advisable to start a few days after the injury, when the swelling goes down.

The goal of the program is to reduce pain and swelling after suffering an injury, to restore the range of motion in the knee joint, and to improve function in the dynamic stabilizers of the joint. A good general and localized condition, with a preserved range of motion, good muscle tone and strength, helps improve postoperative recovery. This is an integral part of the healing process.

For a full and timely recovery, it is necessary to perform the exercises daily.
