ACL Surgery Cost in India

Expert Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) Treatments at Yashoda Hospitals

Athletes and women frequently wearing high heels are at a higher risk of experiencing a ligament tear. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is crucial in the knee, connecting the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone). When this ligament is torn or sprained, it results in an ACL injury.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to restore knee stability and function by repairing or reconstructing the damaged ACL. During the procedure, a tissue graft replaces the torn ligament, often using a tendon from another part of the knee. This minimally invasive surgery involves small incisions around the knee joint and is typically performed as an outpatient procedure.

At Yashoda Hospitals in Hyderabad, our highly skilled ACL surgeons have extensive experience in successfully treating ACL injuries, ensuring patients receive top-tier care and a smooth recovery.

• Exercise regularly to improve balance and gain proprioception, mainly focusing on quadricep muscles.
• Inform the surgeon about any ongoing prescription, supplement intake, and any active allergies. 
• The surgeon may advise against certain medications, especially blood thinners and instruct their patients to fast a few hours before the surgery.
• Restrain from nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol consumption.
• If needed, practice with crutches for post-surgical convenience.

What Happens After the ACL Repair Surgery?

• The patient may experience immediate pain and swelling, which painkillers can manage.
• Follow the wound care instructions given by the surgeon, which may involve keeping the wound clean and dry and changing the dressing.
• Rehabilitation therapies such as focusing on knee extension, gentle leg raises and ankle pumps, and gradually increasing the weight on the treated leg play a vital role in the healing journey

Types of ACL Surgeries:

There are two main types of procedures for ACL injuries, i.e., ACL reconstruction and ACL repair.

ACL Reconstruction (single bundle):

Single Bundle ACL Reconstruction Surgery involves the removal of the damaged ligament from the knee and inserting graft tissue (autograft/allograft), taken from tendons in and around the knee, to restore its function. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, which only requires a few little incisions around the knee, is a less invasive option than open knee surgery. During this procedure, to obtain a clear image of the torn ACL, your doctor will insert a camera and other tiny tools. The graft will then be held in place by the two tunnels they draw. To prevent harm to your joint, you will need to wear the brace. 

Autograft ACL Reconstruction involves the creation of new ligaments from the patient’s body tissue, such as patellar tendon autografts, hamstring tendon autografts (tendons from the back of the thigh), and the quadriceps tendon above the kneecap. In contrast to this, in allograft ACL surgery, the tissue is taken from a cadaver.

Compared to its traditional equivalent, arthroscopic ACL restoration is safer and superior since it involves fewer incisions and causes less tissue damage. It also recovers fairly quickly.

Double-Bundle ACL: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is surgically replaced with two smaller grafts as opposed to one larger graft in a double-bundle restoration. In this procedure, the graft material is passed through three tiny “portals” (5 mm incisions) and a tiny incision (1/2 inch) in the shin bone.

Primary ACL Repair: Primary ACL repair is considered one of the surgical procedures for ACL tears. During this procedure, donor grafts are not being used, and the ACL’s torn ends are cautiously aligned, sutured together, and trimmed to eliminate any frayed or damaged tissue.
