While it can be unsettling to see or feel your knee puff up after an operation, swelling is usually a completely normal part of the body's healing response. However, knowing how to manage swelling and when it might signal a problem is crucial to a successful recovery. Let's explore the causes, what's considered expected, and guidance on when to seek medical advice if swelling seems abnormal. We will also address how additional procedures, such as meniscus repair, could influence post-op swelling, and why comparing your recovery to others is rarely productive. What Causes Swelling After ACL Surgery? Swelling following ACL surgery is primarily a result of inflammation, your body's immune response to trauma, including surgical intervention. The knee joint capsule becomes filled with fluid as blood rushes to the area to help remove damaged tissue and start the healing process. This flu...
