Advanced Arthroscopic ACL Surgery by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics) · Consultant, Narayana Hospital
Overview
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.

Step by Step
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Step 01 / 07
Clinical examination, MRI scan, and fitness assessment are performed. The graft type (hamstring or patellar tendon) is decided based on patient needs.
Step 02 / 07
The procedure is done under spinal or general anesthesia. The knee is prepared and positioned for arthroscopic surgery.
Step 03 / 07
An arthroscope is inserted through small incisions to assess the knee joint, confirm ACL tear, and check for associated injuries.
Step 04 / 07
A tendon graft is taken (usually hamstring or patellar tendon) and prepared to replace the torn ACL.
Step 05 / 07
Precise tunnels are drilled in the femur and tibia to position the graft anatomically.
Step 06 / 07
The graft is passed through the tunnels and fixed using screws or fixation devices to restore ligament function.
Step 07 / 07
Incisions are closed, and sterile dressing is applied. A knee brace may be used post-surgery.
