ACL surgery cost

The cost of getting ACL surgery can be surprising for some people. There has been significant improvements in the reduction in pain and range of motion after surgery.

ACL surgery cost is still between 25 and 50 thousand dollars.

Knee Range of Motion Exercises

Knee Range of Motion Exercises has the top 5 knee range of motion exercises to do after knee surgery. 2 weeks after my ACl surgery my range of motion has greatly increased in week 2, it has gone from 4 degrees and 100 degrees week 1 to 0 and 130 degrees. I think it was in large part due to the 5 exercises. Heel prop, heel slides, quad sets, Prone knee extension and bicycle pendulum. You can watch a video describing the exercises here
