Sports Injury & Ligament Reconstruction

For a standard ACL reconstruction, most patients stay 7 to 10 days. This allows for the procedure itself, a 1–2 night hospital stay, initial physiotherapy sessions, and a post-operative wound check before flying. Your surgeon will clear you for travel once range of motion and wound healing are satisfactory. A full return to sport typically takes 6 to 9 months regardless of where surgery is performed, and your home physiotherapist can continue the rehabilitation protocol provided by the overseas team.
