- Vigilant monitoring of incision sites for early detection of complications.
- Nutritional support focused on bone density improvement (Calcium/Vitamin D).
- Systematic medication compliance regarding anti-coagulation therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: When is joint replacement surgery considered the primary option?
  A: Surgery is indicated when conservative measures, such as physiotherapy and pharmacological intervention, no longer effectively manage pain that restricts daily activities.
• Q: How long is the recovery period for ACL reconstruction?
  A: Typically, functional recovery takes between 6 to 9 months, depending on the patient's commitment to the rehabilitation program.
• Q: Is arthroscopic surgery better than traditional open surgery?
  A: Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive approach characterized by smaller incisions, reduced post-operative pain, shorter recovery times, and significantly lower infection rates compared to traditional methods.
