Patient Story: Billy Wynne Willson from UK | ACL Reconstruction Surgery | Hungary

Rotational stability during knee moving is one of the essential conditions for pain-free and effective movement. This rotational stability is assured by Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). ACL helps in controlling the excessive motion. In this activity, ACL is supported by Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL). The ACL tear is the condition characterized by the presence of severe pain, joint swelling, and instability of the knee. Similar symptoms can be experienced by the patients having PCL injury and the in such cases the patient is not able to bear the weight on the knees. These conditions are common during sports when the patient feels while his knees are bent. If left untreated, it may lead to weakness and further damage. A patient, Billy Wynne Wilson, suffering from these conditions, does not want to take the risk and contacted Medigence for further advice. Read on further how Medigence helps Billy to get complete recovery.
