How long does one take to return to work after ACL Surgery?

 

An ACL rupture is a significant injury and one must commit himself to a rehabilitation program after an ACL reconstruction surgery to maximize the surgical outcome. Your physiotherapist will guide you through this rehab process considering your specific needs and your response to treatment.

• In the initial weeks, light exercises are recommended to restore joint motion and muscle function

• After 2 weeks, you might feel little or no pain. Try to include little heavy exercises to gain full knee extension

• After 6 weeks, strengthening exercises are included to strengthen quadriceps, hamstring, calf, and hip strength

• In between 6-12 weeks the focus will be on improving muscle strength, coordination, and balance

• At the 3 month mark you may begin exercises like running. However, keep watching the intensity of the exercise and do not overstress which may lead to reinjury

• Between 3-6 months, you should feel like your knee strength and function are improving every week. The focus should be to gradually return to pre-injury activities

• Most patients can expect to return to the demands of their sports and activities between 6-9 months after surgery.

How can I treat Anterior Knee Pain?

 

Anterior knee pain begins at the front and center of the knee when the kneecap does not move properly and rubs against the lower part of the thigh bone. The pain can be relieved by keeping knee in the rest position for short span of time and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There are other things also we can do to relieve the anterior knee pain such as:

• Maintain weight.
• While performing activity, wear the correct running or sports shoes.
• If needed, realign your kneecap by taping the knee.
• Change the way you exercise.
• Need to strengthen and stretch the quadriceps and hamstring muscles.
• Use special shoe inserts and support devices if you have flat feet.

Sometime, surgery is suggested to relieve the pain behind the kneecap. During the surgery:

• Damaged cartilage may be removed.
• Tendons are realigned to help the kneecap move properly.
• Realignment of kneecap may be done for better joint movement.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant and Surgeon, if you are feeling pain around the kneecap, it could be Anterior Knee Pain. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation.

Chondromalacia Vs Arthritis

 

Chondromalacia and arthritis are the two common knee conditions associated with continuous knee pain. Chondromalacia patellae or commonly known as runner’s knee is a condition where cartilage under the kneecap breaks down and causes knee pain. Meanwhile, arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when there is damage in and around the joints that the body cannot fully repair. It typically worsens with aging individuals.

Runner’s knee condition can be reversed completely using different therapies such as RICE treatment in a span of 6 months or a year. Whereas arthritis, it’s mostly a lifelong issue that can be reduced with proper care and can be eliminated through joint replacement surgery.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant and Surgeon, if you are feeling pain around the kneecap, it could be Chondromalacia Patella or Arthritis. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation. He can be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.

What is Chondromalacia Patella?

 

Chondromalacia patella is a kind of knee pain that occurs when the cartilage on the undersurface of the kneecap (Patella) becomes soft and breaks down. Pain is felt when the kneecap comes in contact with the thigh bone (femur).

What causes chondromalacia patella?
Abnormal knee cap positioning, tightness or weakness of the knee muscles, too much activity involving the knee, and flat feet may increase the chances of chondromalacia patella.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant and Surgeon, if you are feeling pain behind the kneecap, below the kneecap, or on the sides of the kneecap. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation. He can be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.
