FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need surgery for an ACL tear?
Not always. Partial ACL tears can be managed without surgery. Reconstruction is recommended for athletes wanting to return to pivoting sports.
How long after ACL surgery can I play sport?
Return to competitive sport is typically at 9 to 12 months after ACL reconstruction.
Can a torn meniscus heal without surgery?
Small peripheral tears may heal with physiotherapy. Large or complex tears usually need arthroscopic surgery.
What is PRP injection?
A concentrated preparation from your own blood, injected into injured tissue to promote healing.
How soon should I see a doctor after a sports injury?
Ideally within 24 to 48 hours for the best treatment outcome.
