Ankle Injury Treatment Cost in India

For younger, active patients with good bone quality, cementless implants are preferred for their long-term fixation and lower revision risk.

Patients typically begin walking with a walker within 24–48 hours after surgery under supervision.

Most patients can fly home after 3–4 weeks, depending on their recovery speed and physician approval.

Yes. Continued physiotherapy for 6–8 weeks is essential to regain full mobility and strength.

The surgery is performed under spinal anesthesia (with sedation) or general anesthesia, based on medical evaluation.

ACL reconstruction is considered moderate-level surgery. Though it involves reconstruction of a critical ligament, the arthroscopic technique makes it less invasive and typically safe with minimal downtime.

With proper care and physical therapy, an ACL graft can last for 15–20 years or more. Many patients resume sports and lead normal lives post-recovery.

Yes, physical therapy is essential and begins immediately after surgery. It helps restore knee motion, strength, and overall function. A structured rehab program typically spans 3–6 months.
