THE ACL RECONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE
Your doctor will replace your torn ligament with a tissue/ligament graft. This graft acts as a scaffolding for a new ligament to grow and can be obtained from several sources. Autografts (autologous) are typically taken from the patient’s patellar tendon, which runs between the kneecap and the shinbone. Hamstring tendons, at the back of the thigh, and quadriceps tendons, which runs from the kneecap into the thigh, are also common sources of autografts. Finally, cadaver graft (allograft) can also be used in particular cases.
Surgery to rebuild an anterior cruciate ligament is done with an arthroscope using small incisions. Arthroscopic surgery is less invasive and the benefits of less invasive techniques include less pain from surgery, less time spent in the hospital, and quicker recovery times.
RECOVERING FROM ACL RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY
Our orthopedic surgeons have outstanding experience and 99% of their ACL cases recover fully and successfully. Rehabilitation plays a vital role in getting you back to your daily activities. A physical therapy program will help you regain knee strength and motion.
If you have surgery, physical therapy first focuses on returning motion to the joint and surrounding muscles. This is followed by a strengthening program designed to protect the new ligament. This strengthening gradually increases the stress across the ligament. The final phase of rehabilitation is aimed at a functional return tailored to the patient’s lifestyle. Because the regrowth of the graft takes time, it may be 3-6 months or more before someone can return to sports after surgery.
