Why ACL Reconstruction Is Needed
Recommended after a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, usually from a sports injury involving sudden stops, pivots, or awkward landings, which leaves the knee mechanically unstable. It's especially advised for younger, active patients or athletes who need to return to pivoting sports, or anyone with recurrent knee-buckling episodes.
Signs You May Need ACL Reconstruction
A loud pop at the time of injury followed by rapid knee swelling, pain, and a feeling that the knee is giving way or unstable during walking, twisting, or sports. Reduced range of motion and difficulty bearing weight in the first days after injury are also common.
Types of ACL Reconstruction
The graft can be an autograft (using the patient's own patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, or quadriceps tendon) or an allograft (donor tissue), placed arthroscopically through small incisions rather than open surgery. Double-bundle techniques, which more closely mimic natural ACL anatomy, are used in select cases alongside the more common single-bundle reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ACL reconstruction cost?
In India it typically ranges from about Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh depending on graft type, implants, and hospital, so ask your orthopedic surgeon for a personalized quote.
How long before I can play sports again?
Most athletes return to full sport 6-9 months after surgery, following a structured physiotherapy program to rebuild strength and confidence in the knee.
Is surgery always necessary for an ACL tear?
Not always; some less active patients or partial tears can be managed with physiotherapy and bracing, but athletes and those with persistent instability generally benefit more from reconstruction.
What are the risks?
Risks include graft failure, stiffness, infection, and re-tear, though success rates are high when rehabilitation is followed diligently.
Will I need physiotherapy?
Yes, structured physiotherapy is essential both before and after surgery to regain strength, motion, and stability, and largely determines the final outcome.
