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 one of the most important ligaments that stabilizes the knee joint and prevents excessive forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur.

ACL injuries are common in athletes and active individuals, often occurring during sudden twisting movements, pivoting, or direct trauma. A torn ACL leads to instability, pain, swelling, and difficulty in performing daily activities or sports.

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using high-definition cameras and precision instruments. The torn ligament is replaced with a graft (usually taken from the patient’s hamstring or patellar tendon), restoring knee stability and function.

This minimally invasive approach ensures smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and a quicker return to sports and active lifestyle.

Conditions & Indications

When is this procedure recommended?

Complete ACL tear causing knee instability

Partial ACL tear with functional instability

Sports injuries involving twisting or pivoting movements

Recurrent knee giving-way episodes

Associated injuries like meniscus tears

Difficulty in running, jumping, or changing direction

Young and active individuals requiring knee stability

Failure of conservative treatment (physiotherapy, bracing)

How is ACL Reconstruction Performed?

A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process

Pre-Operative Planning

Clinical examination, MRI scan, and fitness assessment are performed. The graft type (hamstring or patellar tendon) is decided based on patient needs.

Anesthesia & Setup

The procedure is done under spinal or general anesthesia. The knee is prepared and positioned for arthroscopic surgery.

Arthroscopic Evaluation

An arthroscope is inserted through small incisions to assess the knee joint, confirm ACL tear, and check for associated injuries.

Graft Harvesting

A tendon graft is taken (usually hamstring or patellar tendon) and prepared to replace the torn ACL.

Tunnel Creation

Precise tunnels are drilled in the femur and tibia to position the graft anatomically.

Graft Placement & Fixation

The graft is passed through the tunnels and fixed using screws or fixation devices to restore ligament function.

Closure

Incisions are closed, and sterile dressing is applied. A knee brace may be used post-surgery.
