Restoring Stability and Mobility
Introduction
Kalyani Hospital, a beacon of medical excellence, specializes in ACL reconstruction surgery. Our multidisciplinary team of orthopedic experts is dedicated to providing personalized care and optimal outcomes for patients in Delhi. Let’s delve into the world of ACL reconstruction and its significance.
What is ACL Reconstruction Surgery?
ACL reconstruction surgery aims to restore a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. This common procedure helps regain stability and function after an ACL injury. During surgery, the damaged ligament is replaced with a graft, either from the patient’s own tissue (autograft) or a donor (allograft).
Types of ACL Reconstruction Surgery
- Autografts:
- Patellar Tendon Autograft (BPTB): Utilizes a strip of the patellar tendon along with a small bone piece from the patella and tibia.
- Hamstring Tendon Autograft: Uses two hamstring tendons (gracilis and semitendinosus) harvested from the back of the thigh.
- Quadriceps Tendon Autograft: Utilizes the central portion of the quadriceps tendon, including a bone block from the patella.
- Allografts:
- Patellar Tendon Allograft: Involves using the patellar tendon from a cadaver.
- Hamstring Tendon Allograft: Utilizes hamstring tendons from a donor.
- Achilles Tendon Allograft: Utilizes the Achilles tendon from a donor.
- Synthetic Grafts:
- These are less common and involve using materials other than biological tissue, such as polyester or carbon fiber.
Why is ACL Reconstruction Surgery Performed?
ACL injuries often occur during sports or activities involving sudden stops, changes in direction, or pivoting movements. Key reasons for surgery include:
- Restore Knee Stability: The ACL prevents excessive forward movement of the tibia in relation to the femur. Surgery ensures stability.
- Prevent Further Damage: Delaying treatment can lead to additional damage due to continued movements.
- Comprehensive Care: At Kalyani Hospital, we prioritize informed treatment journeys, from surgery to rehabilitation and follow-up monitoring.
