"ACL reconstruction surgery and recovery afterwards"

About: Orpington Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

Yesterday I had ACL reconstruction here and it was my first ever operation. I was so nervous but all the staff were fantastic and really did put me at ease. No question was silly and they kept me occupied when I didn’t want to look at what was happening. Physiotherapist was brilliant and gave me ally the advice I needed and really took the time to talk me through everything. My after care was spot on and nothing I asked for was too much, water was freshly topped up and when I needed help to the toilet it was a very quick response. All staff very friendly and supportive and if I ever had surgery again I hope it would be there!

Thank you for your comments about your reconstruction surgery at Orpington. I hope that you are continuing to recover well.

It's good to hear that you received such good care from the physio and other staff on the ward.

Let's hope you don't need more surgery but good to hear that you would be happy to return to Orpington if you did.

All good wishes from all of the team at Orpington.
