What is ACL Reconstruction?
ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair or replace a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in the knee. The ACL is an important ligament that helps stabilize the knee during walking, running, jumping, and sudden changes in direction.
ACL injuries commonly occur during sports, falls, sudden twisting movements, or accidents. When the ligament is completely torn and causes knee instability, reconstruction may be recommended to restore stability and support a safe return to daily activities or sports.
At KK Swara Super Speciality Hospital in Boduppal, patients receive comprehensive orthopedic evaluation, surgical care, and structured rehabilitation based on the severity of the injury and individual recovery needs.
When is ACL Reconstruction Recommended?
- Complete or significant ACL tear
- Repeated episodes of knee instability or giving way
- Knee pain and swelling following an injury
- Difficulty with running, jumping, or changing direction
- Sports-related ACL injuries
- Persistent instability despite physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Combined ACL and meniscus or other ligament injuries
- Active individuals seeking to return to sports or demanding activities
- Knee instability affecting daily activities
- Recurrent knee injuries due to ACL deficiency
How is ACL Reconstruction Performed?
ACL reconstruction is generally performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. The damaged ligament is replaced with a suitable graft to help restore knee stability.
Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction
Small incisions are made around the knee to insert a camera and specialized surgical instruments. The surgeon removes the damaged ligament and positions the graft securely to recreate the ACL.
Graft Selection
Depending on the patient's age, activity level, injury, and other factors, an appropriate graft may be selected to reconstruct the ligament.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
A structured rehabilitation program is an important part of recovery. Physiotherapy helps improve knee movement, muscle strength, balance, and functional stability before gradually returning to normal activities and sports.
