About Meniscectomy Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Meniscectomy with Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction is a combined orthopedic surgical procedure performed to address two common knee injuries simultaneously. It involves the arthroscopic removal of a damaged portion of the meniscus (meniscectomy) and the surgical reconstruction of a torn anterior or posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) using a graft, typically from the patient's own tissue or a donor. This dual procedure is designed to restore knee stability, alleviate pain, and improve function in patients who have sustained complex knee trauma. It is a minimally invasive surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon, aiming to return patients to their desired level of activity with reduced risk of future arthritis and instability.

Key Highlights

Addresses two major knee problems in a single surgical session.Minimally invasive arthroscopic technique leads to smaller incisions and less scarring.Restores crucial knee stability and function, reducing the risk of future joint degeneration.Alleviates pain and mechanical symptoms like locking or catching.Can significantly improve quality of life and return to sports or daily activities.

Who is this surgery for?

Concurrent tear of a meniscus and a complete tear of the anterior (ACL) or posterior (PCL) cruciate ligament.
Persistent knee instability, pain, or swelling despite conservative treatment like physiotherapy.
Mechanical symptoms such as locking, catching, or giving way of the knee.
Active individuals or athletes requiring a stable knee for sports or physically demanding work.
Younger patients to prevent early-onset osteoarthritis from an unstable knee joint.

How to prepare

Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and imaging (MRI).
Discussion with the surgeon and anesthesiologist about the procedure and anesthesia options.
Pre-operative physiotherapy to reduce swelling and maintain muscle strength.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery as instructed.
Arranging for post-surgery assistance at home and necessary equipment like crutches or a knee brace.

Risks & possible complications

Graft failure, re-tear, or loosening over time.
Persistent pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion in the knee.
Nerve or blood vessel damage around the surgical site.
Increased risk of osteoarthritis in the long term despite the reconstruction.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial phase involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to manage pain and swelling.
Use of crutches and a knee brace for several weeks to protect the reconstruction.
Structured, phased physiotherapy program is critical, starting with gentle motion and progressing to strength and agility training.
Gradual return to daily activities over weeks to months; return to sports may take 6-12 months.
Regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and progress.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full return to sports
