Your operation

This section aims to provide a general overview as to what you can expect before, during and after surgery. Details will vary depending on the severity and extent of your injuries, the type of ligament(s) being repaired, as well as other factors. Your surgeon will tell you more nearer the time, but you may find the following useful for general guidance.

Before your operation It is important to understand what to expect and what you need to do beforehand to ensure you are properly prepared.

 

The operation The procedure you will undergo will consist of an anaesthetic beforehand, followed by the actual operation.

 

Recovery and rehabilitation To manage your own expectations about how quickly you will be 'back on our feet', it is helpful to know what happens immediately after surgery and in the months to follow.
