ACL Reconstruction Surgery is a surgical procedure designed to repair or replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) -- one of the main ligaments stabilizing the knee joint. This injury usually comes about in high impact sports or as a result of a trauma that bends or overstretches the knee.
In ACL reconstruction the ruptured ligament is removed and a graft inserted in its place, this graft can be made of the own tissue of the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft). The objective of the surgery is to regain knee strength, mobility and stability that will enable the patients to resume their daily life and sports without any risk.
In this operation, a surgeon utilizes the own tissues of a patient, typically, hamstring tendon, patellar tendon or quadriceps tendon. It provides more acceptance of grafts and reduces the risk of rejection.
In this case, the graft is obtained from a donor. This is the best option in patients that want less time to recover and few surgical incisions that are common in revision ACL surgeries.
There exists the possibility of using advanced synthetic ligaments with specific patients, who have a faster initial recovery, but might have to be followed up more closely in the long term.
Revision ACL surgery is used in patients who have failed primary ACL reconstruction with graft rupture, infection, improper placement of the tunnel, or has been combined with bone grafting that is done via customized surgical planning.
The knee joint size and the overall health of the joint will be determined through X-rays or MRI scans, performed by your orthopedic surgeon.
Anything that you are taking as a supplement or a herbal product should be reported to your doctor prior to surgery in order to prevent any complications during the anesthesia or recovery process.
Light strengthening exercises can be prescribed prior to surgery to strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles - to aid in the recovery and mobility after surgery.
Quit smoking and eat a balanced diet of protein and vitamins in order to improve optimum healing. Early recovery should also have the patients making home preparations that can move them easily.
General anesthesia or regional (spinal) anesthesia is done to patients according to medical status and their preference.
Arthroscopic Access: Using minor cuts, the surgeon places an arthroscope which gives them a clear view of the interior of the knee joint on a monitor.
Graft Preparation: The chosen graft (autograft or allograft) is picked, processed, and modeled to fit in the right place.
Creation of Tunnels and Grafts: Drilling in the tibia and the femur, small bone tunnels are made through which the graft is inserted and then fastened with screws or buttons.
Last Adjustments and Closure: The surgeon ensures that the graft is tension and stable, tests full range of motion and closes the incisions.
This is a minimum invasive method which minimizes tissue damage, shortens the hospital stay, and enables earlier rehabilitation.
ACL reconstruction is a safe surgery, but some risks are possible, they include:
Surgical site infection.
Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the leg).
Graft failure or re-tearing
Rigidity or range of motion.
Damage of nerves or blood vessels (uncommon)
Pain/instability in the knee is chronic.
Anesthetic allergy or alloderm allergy.
These risks are reduced through appropriate surgical planning, a skilled orthopedic team and effective rehabilitation in Felix Hospital.
The process of the recovery varies when an individual is concerned, however, the average patient starts to walk with assistance in a few days and gets back to routines in 3-6 months. The average duration of full recovery and restoration to sport is normal between 9-12 months.
Keys to faster recovery:
Adhere to your plan of physiotherapy.
Ice packs can be used to decrease swelling.
Have the leg that has been operated on in the air.
Use prescribed pain relievers and follow-ups.
You should not make sudden twisting or pivotal movements unless approved by your doctor.
