Approximately 85% of patients can return without restrictions, but may have limitations due to pain, swelling, or lifestyle changes.

What are the potential complications after surgery?

Common complications include pain in the front of the knee (10-20% patients) and loss of knee motion (less than 5%). Some may intermittent pain and swelling related to meniscus or cartilage injury.

How long does rehabilitation take after surgery?

Rehabilitation typically lasts six to eight months, focusing on muscles and restoring range of motion.

What are non-surgical treatment options?

Non-surgical options include physical therapy, activity modification, brace use. Strengthening the hamstring muscles and avoiding sports can help, but bracing effectiveness varies among patients.

Will I need another surgery if ACL surgery fails?

Yes, if ACL surgery fails, revision surgery may be required for unresolved issues.

What factors affect recovery time after ACL surgery?

Recovery time can vary based on factors such as patient age, activity level adherence to rehabilitation, and any additional injuries or complications.

Can ACL surgery prevent arthritis in the knee?

ACL surgery can help protect against knee arthritis, but it does not guarantee prevention. Proper rehabilitation and post-surgery care are essential for long-term joint health.

Symptoms Of ACL Reconstruction

Symptoms

Knee pain when moving
Limited range of motion
Swelling around the joint
Feeling of instability

Symptoms of ACL Tear

  • Knee pain: Common symptom of ACL tears, often experienced during movement or weight-bearing.
  • Restricted range of motion: Decreased ability to fully extend or flex the knee due to ligament damage.
  • Swelling: Inflammation around the knee joint, typically indicating an injury or trauma.
  • Knee that gives way or feels unstable during daily activities: Instability in the knee, leading to a sensation of the knee "giving out" or feeling unsteady during normal movements.

Diagnosis

An ACL tear is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

Causes of ACL Tear

ACL tears are commonly seen in young men and women who are into contact sports such as football, rugby, basketball etc. Sudden change in direction and sudden blows leads to ACL tear. Apart from this :

  • Women are more likely to have ACL tears
  • Previous history of ACL tear
  • Improper technique
  • Environmental factors such as slippery surfaces, poorly maintained sports ground.

Preparing for ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Before surgery:

  • Inform your provider about all medications, including over-the-counter and herbal supplements.
  • Stop taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen as advised.
  • Consult your provider about medications to take on the day of surgery.
  • Disclose alcohol consumption and try to limit it.
  • Quit smoking to aid healing.
  • Report any illnesses or symptoms before surgery.

On the day of surgery:

  • Avoid eating or drinking for 6 to 12 hours prior to surgery.
  • Take prescribed medications with a small sip of water.
  • Follow instructions regarding arrival time at the hospital.

Procedure

ACL reconstruction surgery is performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. The operation will take between 1 hour and 1 hour and 30 minutes, and will usually require an overnight stay in hospital.

Recovery

Recovery from this surgery varies among patients but you may take 6-9 months to return to sports, depending on activity level. Patients start walking with crutches and a brace immediately after surgery and learn wound care before leaving the hospital.

Rehabilitation begins soon after surgery and includes:

  • Early strengthening and range-of-motion exercises
  • Running exercises at four months
  • Pivoting exercises at five months
  • Return to competitive sports around six months

Pain during recovery can be managed with medication. Arthroscopic techniques have improved recovery compared to open surgery.

If a repaired ACL fails, it can only be revised with an ACL reconstruction. Having to redo any kind of ACL surgery may result in higher rates of failure. It also has an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knee. In the longer term, it can lead to chronic pain and loss of knee function.

  • Allograft surgery involves using tissue from a deceased donor as the graft.
  • Tendons commonly used in allografts include the patellar tendon, Achilles tendon, semitendinosus tendon, gracilis tendon, or posterior tibialis tendon.
  • Allografts are beneficial for patients who may not have suitable tissue for autografts or prefer to avoid additional incisions for graft harvesting.
