Hi guys, would like to shout out for my orthopaedic surgeon Dr Yong Yuan Shyh. I twisted my knee 3 weeks ago when I was playing basketball, I thought is small injury duh, till 2nd week, my swelling gone 70% but I still can't fully bend my knee lack of 30 degree.

So I went for specialist seeking for advise.
1. Dr Chan Kin Yuen, Gleneagle Ampang
2. Dr Yong Yuan Shyh, Columbia Asia Setapak

Scanned MRI, confirmed ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) torn, need reconstruction. Fee quote is 35k at Gleneagle & 30k at Columbia. Fee is not my main concern as covered under my insurance. Operating 2.5hours.

At first I have doubt whether should go on surgery as:-
1. Rehab is long 3weeks light walk (need crutches), 3 months back jogging, 6months-1year back sport
2. Pain
3. Lost 30% of stability

After seeking both doc advise, it may further damage my knee in long run so I have decided did mine on 23Dec under Dr Yong Yuan Shyh. Graft hamstring.

Today is my 4th day after surgery and I'm discharge today.
- Pain is almost none! Its KEYHOLE surgery, wound is very small.
- I can still feel my leg muscle, power.
- Hospital facility is good, Wifi is blazing fast stream Youtube Astro live feed, food is great, nurse is lenglui.

Feeling great to walk again soon & thats my experience share with u guys. Ciao!

Operation + Physio= 37k, it maybe vary due to operation procedure. My friend did 29k all in same hospital, same Dr.

Mine include: ACL reconstruct, meniscus repair. I'm on postop day17. I can walk with leg stablelizer now, range of motion (ROM) 90 degree.

Nasi Lemak? Fillet, Chicken Chop apa apa ada

I'm complete recover now, already hit back to gym months ago.

Not sure about other doc, I done mine under Dr Yong. Just go for doc u feel confident with & arrange op as soon as possible with no fear . I experience zero pain from op till now.

I don't experience any pain for the whole op. Looking back its been a year now

Walk normal need a month, post op period I always put on my knee stabilizer.

Yea fully recovered, can workout just like normal squat etc. I still basketball with my buddy but I no longer play aggressive.
