MCL Repair And Reconstruction

MCL Repair and Reconstruction in Ahmedabad – Expert Care at Vedant Hospital

The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) is a crucial ligament in the knee that provides stability and support. Injuries to the MCL, commonly caused by sports activities, accidents, or sudden twists, can lead to pain, swelling, and instability in the knee. If left untreated, an MCL tear can affect mobility and daily activities.

At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, a highly skilled Orthopedic Surgeon in Ahmedabad, specializes in MCL repair and reconstruction. With years of experience in treating ligament injuries, Dr. Shah provides advanced, evidence-based treatment options to restore knee function and ensure long-term recovery.

Understanding MCL Injuries

The MCL is located on the inner side of the knee and helps in stabilizing the joint. MCL injuries are graded as follows:

• Grade 1: Mild stretching or small tears in the ligament
• Grade 2: Partial tear causing moderate instability
• Grade 3: Complete tear leading to severe instability and difficulty in movement

While mild cases may heal with physiotherapy and bracing, severe MCL tears often require surgical repair or reconstruction for a complete recovery.

MCL Repair and Reconstruction – Treatment Approach

Dr. Amish Shah adopts a patient-centric approach to determine the best treatment plan based on the severity of the injury.

• MCL Repair: If the ligament is torn but still intact, minimally invasive surgical techniques are used to stitch it back together.
• MCL Reconstruction: In cases of complete ligament rupture, the damaged ligament is replaced using a graft from the patient’s own tissue or a donor graft to restore stability.

At Vedant Hospital, we use the latest arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques to ensure a quicker recovery, less pain, and better long-term outcomes.
