Understanding ACL Reconstruction Surgery and Recovery Process

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are common, especially among athletes and individuals involved in high-impact activities. Whether caused by sports, accidents, or sudden twisting motions, an ACL tear can lead to pain, instability, and difficulty in movement. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, a highly experienced orthopedic doctor, specializes in ACL reconstruction, helping patients regain strength, stability, and mobility.

What is ACL Reconstruction?

ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. The surgery involves using a graft, typically from the patient’s own tendon (autograft) or a donor (allograft), to restore the ligament’s function. This procedure is essential for individuals who want to return to sports or physically demanding activities after an ACL injury.

When Do You Need ACL Reconstruction?

ACL reconstruction is recommended if:

You experience persistent knee instability or weakness.
Your knee gives way during daily activities or sports.
There is significant pain and swelling affecting your movement.
You want to return to an active lifestyle that requires strong knee stability.
