Acl Reconstruction Surgery
What is ACL reconstruction surgery?
Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is designed to restore knee strength and stability after the ligament has been torn. Your ACL runs between the femur and the tibia and stops the tibia from slipping in front of the femur. In an ACL surgery/ligament tear treatment, the torn ligament is replaced with a tendon from another part of your knee or from a deceased donor.
Making the decision to have ACL surgery is quite important. Your doctor recommends ACL reconstruction surgery when-
- More than one ligament in your knee is injured
- Your knee buckles during everyday activities
How do you prepare for ACL tear surgery? (Postoperative)
Before ACL tear surgery, you will undergo several weeks of physical therapy. The goal before ACL tear treatment is to reduce pain and swelling, restore your knees full range of motion and strengthen muscles.
What happens during ACL tear treatment? (During operation/treatment)
An ACL reconstruction surgeon will replace the damaged ligament with new ACL graft tissue that is either taken from your own body or donated from someone else. Most ACL reconstruction surgeries are performed under basic anesthesia. So, you'll be asleep during the surgery and not feel much. Ligament tear treatment usually lasts around a couple of hours, and you won't need to stay in the hospital overnight. For the ACL reconstruction, your ACL reconstruction surgeon will drill bone tunnels into the tibia and the femur, remove the torn ligament and place the ACL graft in the same position.
What happens post ACL knee surgery?
- You will be on crutches and not allowed to bear weight on your knees
- Your doctor may incorporate the usage of continuous passive motion machine
- You will be advised to start Physiotherapy about a week after surgery and continue for the next few months.
What are the potential risks involved with ACL injury treatment?
The possible complications associated with ACL reconstruction surgery include:
- Bleeding and blood clots
- Continued knee pain
- Disease transmission
- Knee stiffness or weakness
- Loss of range of motion
- Improper healing
However, most anterior cruciate ligament surgeries are known to yield excellent results and restore full knee stability.
Lifestyle changes:
Your doctor will recommend you to incorporate lean protein (red meat, chicken or fish), dairy, and fresh citrus.
