Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing the ACL, one of the key ligaments that stabilize the knee joint.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four main ligaments in the knee, and it plays a crucial role in stabilising the joint. The ACL connects the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) and helps control knee movement, particularly during activities that involve pivoting, jumping, and quick changes in direction. This surgery is commonly performed on athletes and active individuals who have suffered ACL tears, allowing them to return to their pre-injury activity levels.
Patients may feel their knee giving way during daily activities, which can increase the risk of further injury.
For athletes or active individuals, a torn ACL can limit participation in sports and physical activities.
ACL injuries often occur alongside damage to other structures in the knee, such as menisci or ligaments, necessitating reconstruction to restore full function.
Ongoing knee pain and discomfort that do not improve with conservative treatments may warrant surgical intervention.
Younger patients who are active and want to maintain their lifestyle often benefit from ACL reconstruction to prevent long-term joint issues.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
Prehabilitation, or physical therapy before surgery, is often recommended to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve overall function.
Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications and supplements they are taking. Some medications may need to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued before surgery.
Engaging in a healthy diet and avoiding smoking can help enhance recovery and reduce complications.
Patients should prepare their home for recovery, including arranging for help with daily tasks and ensuring easy access to essentials.
ACL reconstruction is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, but some patients may stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days for monitoring.
Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort. It is essential for patients to communicate openly with their healthcare team about their pain levels and any side effects of medications.
Rehabilitation begins soon after surgery. A physical therapist will guide patients through exercises aimed at improving mobility, strength, and stability.
Patients are generally advised to avoid high-impact activities, pivoting, or jumping for at least 6 months after surgery. Gradual reintroduction of physical activities is encouraged as healing progresses.
The incision site should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection. Patients will receive instructions on how to care for the surgical site and when to schedule follow-up appointments.
Patients are encouraged to engage in low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, and cycling to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve joint function. Gradual return to high-impact activities should be carefully supervised by a healthcare provider to avoid re-injury.
Monitoring for any signs of pain, swelling, or knee instability is also essential; reporting these symptoms early to a healthcare provider can help prevent complications. Regular follow-up appointments with an orthopaedic specialist support ongoing recovery, providing a chance to address any concerns and ensure optimal knee function.
