ACL reconstruction surgery is a procedure aimed at repairing a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The ACL plays a vital role in maintaining knee stability. Injuries to this ligament often happen during sports that require sudden stops, pivoting, or quick changes in direction. This surgery involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft, allowing patients to regain strength and stability in their knee joint.
Anaesthesia:
The surgery can be conducted under general anaesthesia or regional anaesthesia, based on the patient’s condition and preferences.
Graft Placement:
The surgeon creates tunnels in the bone above and below the knee to establish pathways for the graft. The graft is then secured in position using screws or other fixation devices.
Healing and Rehabilitation:
After the surgery, the patient will go through a rehabilitation program aimed at strengthening the knee and promoting the growth of the new ligament. This process can take several months as the new ACL integrates and stabilizes the knee joint.
