Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction/repair is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee joint. Using advanced arthroscopic techniques, surgeons repair or reconstruct the damaged ligament, helping patients regain stability and range of motion in their knee.

Procedure

During arthroscopic ACL reconstruction/repair, surgeons utilize small incisions and a tiny camera (arthroscope) to visualize the inside of the knee joint. Through meticulous precision, the damaged ACL is either repaired using innovative techniques or replaced with a graft, typically sourced from the patient's own tissue or a donor.

Benefits

• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions result in less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
• Enhanced Precision: Arthroscopic technology allows surgeons to navigate the intricate structures of the knee with greater accuracy, minimizing the risk of complications.
• Quicker Recovery: Patients can often resume normal activities and sports sooner, with comprehensive rehabilitation protocols tailored to individual needs.
• Restored Functionality: By stabilizing the knee joint, arthroscopic ACL reconstruction/repair helps patients regain confidence in their ability to move, exercise, and participate in daily activities without fear of instability or pain.

Recovery and Rehabilitation:

Following arthroscopic ACL reconstruction/repair, a structured rehabilitation program is essential for optimal recovery. Physical therapy, exercises, and gradual return to activity are crucial components, guided by healthcare professionals to ensure a safe and successful recovery journey.
