  • Seems to be a good practice in my experience! Glad to hear that it is standard.

    Of course, its guaranteed that what is left of my ACL will ping at the most inopportune moment requiring mountain rescue to get me home so there is that.

  • Yes, totally agree, and pretty much what the surgeon is saying. Its not exactly last resort, but Id only have someone stick a knife and a camera into my knee if my activity was restricted, or if an ongoing chronic problem could lead to a worse outcome later.

    Interested in hearing from anyone thats actually had work done though

  • I've had keyhole surgery (not on my knee - on my hip, I seem to remember that it's the same issue that @PhilPub had), for me it was crutches for two weeks, walking for two weeks, then gradually back up to normal activity over the next couple of weeks.
