ACL reconstruction treatment

What is ACL reconstruction treatment:

ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring stability to the knee following damage or tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This essential ligament is crucial for knee joint stability, particularly during activities involving sudden stops, changes in direction, or impact. During the procedure, the torn ACL is replaced with a graft, typically sourced from the patient’s own body or a donor. This minimally invasive surgery is often recommended for individuals experiencing instability or significant joint laxity. Post-surgery, a tailored rehabilitation program is integral to fostering a full recovery, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and confidence in their knee function.

ACL Reconstruction Treatment Process:

The ACL reconstruction process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by graft selection and arthroscopic surgery to replace the damaged ligament.

• Preoperative Evaluation: A thorough assessment of the knee’s condition, often involving imaging studies like MRI, to determine the extent of the ACL injury.
• Graft Harvesting: The chosen graft (tendon) is harvested, either from the patient’s own body or a donor.
• Graft Placement: The surgeon removes the damaged ACL and inserts the graft in its place, securing it with screws or other fixation devices
• Rehabilitation: Post-surgery, a comprehensive rehabilitation program is essential to aid recovery, restore strength, and improve range of motion.
