ACL Reconstruction
Gold-standard anatomic reconstruction to restore knee stability and prevent long-term joint damage.
ACL Reconstruction
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a vital structural pillar that connects the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone), maintaining stability during rapid movements and pivoting. An ACL injury signifies a disruption of these fibers, often described as a 'snap' or 'pop' followed by instability. Dr. Ravi Teja specializes in Anatomic ACL Reconstruction, meticulously placing grafts at the ligament's original footprint to replicate natural biomechanics. This precision is crucial for ensuring the knee functions smoothly, allowing patients to regain their mobility and return to an active lifestyle without hindrance.
Surgical Process
Diagnostic Audit
Comprehensive evaluation using clinical stability tests, X-rays, and high-resolution MRI.
Graft Preparation
Selection and preparation of high-strength autografts (hamstring, quad, or BTB) or certified allografts.
Precision Tunneling
Creating anatomical bone tunnels that align perfectly with the original ligament attachment sites.
Graft Fixation
Securing the graft using specialized cortical suspension or interference screws for immediate stability.
Patient Care
Recovery Roadmap
Recovery is a journey of 9-12 months. Early physical therapy focuses on swelling control and reaching full extension immediately. As the graft integrates, we focus on quadriceps reactivation, proprioception, and eventually, sport-specific movements. Return-to-play is permitted only after passing rigorous functional tests.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Athletes with a complete ACL tear (Grade III) seeking return to pivoting sports
Patients experiencing 'giving way' or instability during daily activities
Active individuals, particularly females (who have a higher incidence of ACL tears)
Individuals with combined ACL and meniscus/cartilage injuries (~50% of cases)
Those wishing to prevent future meniscal damage and early-onset arthritis
