Patient Story: Patient from UK underwent ACL Reconstruction Surgery in Hungary

There are four main ligaments found in the knee. These ligaments keep the knee joint in position and help in keeping the knee stable. One of the important ligament of the knee is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). Another cruciate ligament is known as Posterior Cruciate Ligament. Both the ligaments cross each other in the form of “X”. Anterior Cruciate Ligament provides rotational stability to the knee. It helps in controlling the excessive motion and limits the motion of the knee to a particular degree. Most of the force of Anterior Cruciate Ligament is used to restrain the anterior tibial displacement. It is to be noted that because of its restraining effect, it is the ligament having a higher risk of injury. Rotational stability by ACL is obtained through restraining tibial rotation and tibial translation. A patient, Mr. Nickesh Savjani, was also advised for ACL reconstruction surgery.
