ACL Reconstruction Surgery

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a major knee ligament that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). It helps stabilize the knee joint when performing twisting actions such as controlling knee rotation.
ACL reconstruction surgery is recommended in the following cases:

  1. Complete ACL Tear
  2. Restoring knee stability, especially in the case of athletes
  3. If conservative treatments, such as physical therapy and bracing, fail to alleviate symptoms of knee instability

Without proper treatment, a tear in your ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) can be a debilitating injury, especially for athletes and people who live an active lifestyle. The Center for Bone & Joint at Felix Hospital brings the expertise of highly experienced orthopedic surgeons who specialize in Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction Surgery to restore function and stability of the knee. Our team provides advanced, minimally invasive surgery for individuals struggling with knee stability and function after injury.

At Felix Hospital, the best hospital for ACL Surgery, our surgeons and sports medicine specialists follow a personalized strategic approach towards each patient, thereby making their recovery process smooth and hassle-free. The team is actively involved in clinical care and by adopting the latest techniques and technology they are able to handle emergencies round-the-clock.

Although the diagnosis of an ACL injury can be made on the basis of the physical exam alone, your orthopedist may still request additional tests such as X-rays, MRI, or Ultrasound to rule out other causes and determine the severity of the injury.

  • X-rays: This diagnostic test may be needed to rule out a bone fracture.
  • MRI: An MRI can show the extent of an ACL injury and signs of damage to other tissues in the knee, including the cartilage.
  • Ultrasound: An ultrasound may be used to check for injuries in the ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the knee.

There are several surgical options for reconstructing the ACL, and the procedure may vary from patient to patient. Most ACL surgeries are performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques.

Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction Procedure
  • Selection of Graft: In ACL reconstruction, the torn ligament is replaced with a tissue graft. The graft can be either from a donor (allograft) or the patient’s own body (autograft).
  • Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy Surgery: ACL reconstruction is commonly performed using arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique. The surgeon makes small incisions and uses an arthroscope (a camera-guided instrument) to perform the surgery. The damaged ligament is removed, and the knee is prepared for the graft, which is then secured in place using screws, sutures, or fixation devices.
  • Rehabilitation and Recovery: A comprehensive rehabilitation program after arthroscopic ACL surgery is crucial to regain stability, strength, and range of motion.

At Felix Hospital, the best hospital for ACL surgery, our specialists carefully assess key factors in preparing a patient for Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction Surgery. They evaluate the patient’s overall health, joint condition, and potential risks.

Before surgery, the patient will undergo preoperative tests, including lab, diagnostic, and imaging tests such as blood tests, X-ray, CT Scan, or MRI. Based on the patient's general health, the surgeon may start or stop certain medications before the procedure.

The success of Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction Surgery depends on the recovery phase. At Felix Hospital, we provide comprehensive post-operative and follow-up care to ensure a smooth recovery for all patients.

After surgery, the patient is moved to the recovery unit, where our staff and nurses closely monitor vital signs and recovery progress. To support successful healing, we offer the following post-operative care services:

  • Personalized rehab plan: Guidance on when a patient can resume walking or playing sports.
  • Physical therapy support: Exercises to strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles for better balance.

  • Nutritionist support: Personalized diet plans to accelerate healing.
  • Emergency support: Immediate care in case of complications.
  • Regular follow-ups: Continuous monitoring to detect and prevent any complications.
