ACL Repair & Reconstruction

ACL Repair & Reconstruction

ACL Repair & Reconstruction is a specialized orthopedic procedure for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, common in athletes and active individuals. The ACL is crucial for knee stability, pivoting, and movement, and injuries can lead to instability, pain, and difficulty performing sports or daily activities. Under the guidance of Dr. Nithin Kumar Bejjanki, this procedure restores knee stability and function using advanced surgical techniques and personalized rehabilitation programs.

ACL Repair & Reconstruction is recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Knee instability or giving way during movement

  • Pain, swelling, or stiffness after injury

  • Limited mobility affecting daily activities or sports

  • ACL tears due to trauma, sports injuries, or accidents

  • Associated injuries like meniscus or cartilage damage

The procedure is designed to restore knee function, prevent further injury, and enable safe return to sport.

Treatment may include:

  • ACL repair for partial tears or suitable cases

  • ACL reconstruction using grafts (autograft or allograft) for complete tears

  • Simultaneous repair of meniscus or cartilage if required

  • Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques for precise reconstruction

  • Post-surgical rehabilitation programs to restore strength, flexibility, and stability

The choice of treatment depends on injury severity, patient age, activity level, and long-term goals.

  1. Preoperative Assessment: Clinical evaluation, MRI imaging, and patient counseling

  2. Anesthesia: General or regional anesthesia based on patient needs

  3. Surgical Procedure: Arthroscopic reconstruction using grafts to replace or repair the torn ACL

  4. Closure & Dressing: Small incisions closed with sutures, knee bandaged

  5. Postoperative Rehabilitation: Structured physiotherapy focusing on range of motion, strength, and gradual return to activity

Patients typically experience improved knee stability, reduced pain, and faster recovery with modern surgical techniques.

Q1: How long does recovery take?
A: Full recovery typically takes 6–9 months, depending on patient adherence to rehabilitation.

Q2: Can I return to sports?
A: Yes, with structured rehab and gradual progression, athletes can return safely to pre-injury activities.

Q3: Is ACL surgery painful?
A: Mild discomfort is managed with medications and physiotherapy; most patients tolerate the procedure well.

Q4: What are the advantages of reconstruction?
A: Restores knee stability, prevents further injury, and allows safe return to sports.

Q5: Will knee function fully return?
A: With proper rehabilitation, most patients regain full mobility, strength, and stability.

ACL Repair & Reconstruction is a safe, effective, and athlete-focused procedure that restores knee stability, mobility, and confidence.
