ACL Tear & Reconstruction
ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is a centrally located ligament that is crucial for preventing abnormal rotatory instability and forward movement of the leg bone. ACL tears are commonly caused by sports activities, jumping and landing injuries, or two-wheeler accidents. Since it has poor blood supply, it does not heal on its own and requires arthroscopic reconstruction.
ACL Reconstruction & Graft Selection
Arthroscopic Reconstruction
Tendon Grafting TechniquesWe use the patient's own tendons (hamstrings, quadriceps, bone-patellar tendon, or peroneus longus) to reconstruct the torn ACL via minimally invasive keyhole surgery, ensuring a faster recovery.
High Grade Injuries
ALL Reconstruction SupportIn high-velocity injuries, supporting structures like the anterolateral ligament (ALL) are also torn. We perform combined ACL + ALL reconstruction to ensure maximum stability for athletes.
Revision & BPTB Graft
Gold Standard ArthroplastyBone Patella Tendon Bone (BPTB) graft uses central patellar tendon bone plugs. It is preferred for contact athletes and revision settings due to quicker bone-to-bone healing.
Paediatric ACL Injuries
Physeal Sparing TechniquesFor children with active growth plates, specialized techniques (primary repair, all-epiphyseal, and physeal-sparing reconstructions) are employed to avoid growth disturbance.
