Am I a candidate for ACL / PCL reconstruction?

Candidacy is decided after clinical examination, imaging review and a discussion of your goals, activity level and medical history. Dr. Tomar recommends surgery only when non-surgical treatment cannot deliver a durable result.

How long is the hospital stay for ACL / PCL reconstruction?

Most patients are discharged within 2–4 days depending on the procedure, pain control and how quickly you regain safe mobility. Outstation patients are supported with post-op follow-up over WhatsApp and video.

When can I return to normal activities?

Light indoor activities usually resume within 2–3 weeks. Return to driving, desk work and gentle walking follows soon after. Sport, running or heavy lifting is guided by your physiotherapy milestones, typically at 3–6 months.

What outcomes can I expect?

Outcomes vary from patient to patient and depend on your condition, overall health and rehabilitation. Patient selection, surgical planning and physiotherapy are discussed with you in detail so you have realistic, individual expectations before any decision.

Do you offer a second opinion?

Yes. Many patients come specifically for a second opinion before deciding. You will receive a clear, unhurried view of surgical and non-surgical options with pros, cons and expected outcomes.

ACL / PCL Reconstruction in Delhi — overview

Dr. L. Tomar performs acl / pcl reconstruction in Delhi at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Patparganj, and consults at the Vikash Marg clinic. Here is what the procedure involves and who it helps.

ACL and PCL tears are common in sports and road-traffic injuries. Reconstruction replaces the torn ligament with a graft (usually from your own hamstring or patellar tendon) through small arthroscopic incisions — restoring stability so you can return to sport and daily activity without giving-way episodes.
