Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair a torn or damaged ACL in the knee. An ACL is a common sports injury. During the procedure, the surgeon replaces the torn ligament with a graft. It is typically taken from a tendon in the patient's own body or from a donor.
ACL Reconstruction is a specific procedure performed to treat ACL tears. ACL is a common knee injury, especially in athletes. ACL can be partially torn or completely torn due to sudden movements of the knee like twists, turns, or direct impacts. A reconstruction aims to relieve symptoms like pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
The recovery process after ACL Reconstruction takes several months. During the initial phase of recovery, the patient will need to wear a knee brace and use crutches for support. Physical therapy begins immediately to restore motion and reduce swelling. Physical therapy continues to focus on strengthening the knee and surrounding muscles. Depending on the individual's progress, patients can gradually return to sports and activities, typically around six to nine months after surgery. ACL requires long-term care that involves strengthening exercises and follow-up visits with the doctor to prevent future injuries and maintain knee health.
