ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Reconstruction Surgery is a procedure performed to repair a torn ACL in the knee, a crucial ligament responsible for stabilizing the joint. Typically, this injury occurs during sports or activities that involve sudden changes in direction, pivoting, or direct trauma to the knee. The surgery is usually conducted under general anesthesia and involves the replacement of the torn ligament with a graft, often sourced from the patient's hamstring tendon, patellar tendon, or donor tissue. The surgeon makes small incisions around the knee, inserts an arthroscope for a clear view, and removes the damaged ligament before placing the graft in the correct position. Post-surgery, a rigorous rehabilitation program is vital for recovery. Physical therapy helps regain strength, flexibility, and stability in the knee. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities during the initial recovery period and gradually return to sports or regular activities under the guidance of a healthcare professional. While ACL reconstruction has a high success rate in restoring knee stability, full recovery can take several months. Complications like infection, stiffness, or graft failure may occur, requiring careful post-operative monitoring and adherence to rehabilitation protocols to achieve optimal outcomes.
