ACL Reconstruction Surgery in Jaipur
Advanced Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
What is ACL Reconstruction?
ACL reconstruction is a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery performed to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The ACL is a critical ligament that stabilizes the knee joint and prevents excessive forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur.
ACL injuries commonly occur during sports activities involving sudden stops, twisting, or pivoting movements. A torn ACL can lead to knee instability, swelling, pain, and difficulty performing physical activities.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced ACL reconstruction using arthroscopic techniques and high-definition visualization. The damaged ligament is replaced with a graft, typically taken from the patient’s hamstring tendon or patellar tendon, restoring normal knee function.
This minimally invasive approach ensures smaller incisions, reduced pain, quicker recovery, and a faster return to sports and active lifestyle.

How is ACL Reconstruction Performed?
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Pre-Operative Evaluation
Clinical examination, MRI scan, and fitness assessment to confirm ACL tear and plan surgery.
Anesthesia & Preparation
The procedure is performed under spinal or general anesthesia. The knee is prepared for arthroscopy.
Arthroscopic Assessment
An arthroscope is inserted to evaluate the knee joint and confirm ligament damage.
Graft Harvesting
A tendon graft (hamstring or patellar tendon) is harvested and prepared.
Tunnel Creation
Precise tunnels are created in the femur and tibia to position the graft anatomically.
Graft Placement & Fixation
The graft is placed and fixed using screws or fixation devices to restore ligament function.
Closure
Incisions are closed, and a knee brace is applied for support.
