Dartmouth Health ACL Surgery Part 1: Introduction

Presented by Lisa Densmore, a former member of the U.S. Ski Team and an experienced outdoor athlete, this video is intended for individuals preparing to undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery. It aims to address common questions and concerns patients may have before, during, and after the procedure. The program is structured into three distinct sections, each targeting a different stage of the surgical process. This is section 1. Key topics covered include preparation for surgery, what to expect during the hospital stay, and guidance for post-surgery recovery. Viewers are encouraged to watch the entire program, revisit sections as needed, and note down any questions to discuss during medical appointments. The video also highlights the importance of preparing one's home for post-surgery recovery and directs viewers to a website for further information: https://www.dartmouth-hitchcock.org/o....
