View allI'm a 22-year-old working in IT and just had surgery for a complete ACL tear and lateral meniscus tear in my left knee. The doctors did an ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy but didn't specify how much meniscus was removed. How serious is this and what are my chances of developing osteoarthritis later? Are there exercises I should avoid to protect my knee and do I need to follow any long-term precautions to prevent further damage?
The dry weight of Meniscus removed is generally not done. So to quantify the amount of Meniscus removed is difficult. But be sure that even after aggressive meniscectomy, peripheral rim of Meniscus still remains. You can do any exercise, running or jogging in a graded manner post ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy. Your life remains same post this surgery People with Meniscus repair have to be cautious , there is no problem with people with meniscectomy .

What are the different ways to do ACL reconstruction surgery in India and does this surgery also fix meniscus issues Which method works better for recovery Will I be able to get back to my usual physical activities like before after the surgery Also what's the average cost for this surgery in India
ACL reconstruction surgery in India typically uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, with various graft options like autografts (using your own tissue, often from the patellar tendon or hamstrings), allografts (donor tissue), or rarely, synthetic grafts. The surgery can be combined with meniscus repair or removal if needed. Recovery time is generally 6-12 months, and with proper rehabilitation, you can often return to your previous physical activities. The average cost can vary depending on the hospital, surgeon, and specific procedure, but it's generally in the range of ‚Çπ1,50,000 to ‚Çπ3,00,000.
