ACL Tear Surgery

An Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury in sports such as football, basketball, or skiing. Since the ACL plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee joint, a tear does not heal on its own and often requires timely medical intervention to restore mobility.

Treatment Options for ACL Tear Injury

Surgical Treatment Options :


  • Knee Arthroscopy:
    • Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is a minimally invasive procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize and repair the ligament through small incisions. A fiber-optic camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint, providing a clear view of the damaged area. The surgeon may repair torn tissues, remove damaged cartilage or bone fragments, and reconstruct the ligament using grafts. This approach typically ensures quicker recovery, less pain, and reduced scarring.
  • Knee Ligament Repair:
    • This procedure involves replacing the torn ACL with a healthy tendon graft, usually taken from the patient’s own body (autograft) or a donor (allograft). The surgery is done under anesthesia and is usually an outpatient procedure. The recovery period can vary depending on the extent of the injury and rehabilitation efforts but is generally shorter with early physical therapy.

    Non-Surgical Treatment Options

  • Rest and reduce activity for a few weeks
  • Ice therapy to minimize swelling
  • Elevate the knee above heart level
  • Compression with a knee brace or wrap
  • Anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen)
  • Physical therapy for muscle strengthening and stability
