About Knee Ligament Repair

Knee ligament repair is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to reconstruct or repair torn ligaments within the knee joint, most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), or lateral collateral ligament (LCL). The goal is to restore stability, function, and prevent long-term joint damage. The procedure is typically performed arthroscopically using small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments. Surgeons often use a graft, taken from the patient's own tissue (autograft) or a donor (allograft), to replace the torn ligament. This minimally invasive approach aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and allow patients to return to an active lifestyle.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive arthroscopic technique for reduced scarring and faster recovery.Effectively restores knee stability and function, preventing future joint degeneration.Significantly reduces pain and improves range of motion.Allows return to sports, work, and daily activities with proper rehabilitation.High success rate in preventing recurrent instability and injuries.

Who is this surgery for?

Complete tear (rupture) of a major knee ligament (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL).
Chronic knee instability or giving way that limits daily activities or sports.
Failure of conservative treatments like physiotherapy and bracing to manage symptoms.
Multi-ligament knee injuries, often from high-impact trauma.
Associated injuries like meniscal tears or cartilage damage requiring simultaneous repair.
Active individuals or athletes whose lifestyle demands a stable knee joint.

How to prepare

Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and imaging (MRI).

Graft failure, re-rupture, or persistent instability.
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical area.
Anesthesia-related complications.
Ongoing pain or complex regional pain syndrome.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial 1-2 weeks: Focus on pain management, swelling reduction (RICE protocol), and using crutches.
Early rehabilitation (weeks 2-6): Gradual weight-bearing and exercises to restore range of motion.
Strengthening phase (months 2-6): Progressive physiotherapy to rebuild muscle strength and proprioception.
Return to activity (months 6-12): Sport-specific training; full return to contact sports usually after 9-12 months.
Regular follow-up visits with the orthopedic surgeon to monitor healing progress.
Long-term commitment to strength and conditioning exercises to protect the knee.
