Rehabilitation
Any surgical intervention is only a part of the treatment process and without good physiotherapy and support the best possible outcomes are harder to achieve.
Whilst the best rehabilitation regimes following joint replacement often involve gradually returning to normal function while avoiding certain specific activities, the rehab protocols after ACL reconstruction and hip arthroscopy are much more strict and labour intensive. Following them closely is essential for optimum outcomes.
