Knee arthroscopy with ACL reconstruction is a surgical technique used to repair or replace the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The ACL is crucial for stabilizing the knee during rotational movements and is often injured during sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction.
Procedure Overview:
- Knee Arthroscopy: This procedure involves making small incisions around the knee, through which a camera (arthroscope) and surgical instruments are inserted. The arthroscope allows the surgeon to view the inside of the knee joint on a screen, providing a clear and detailed image that guides the surgery.
- ACL Reconstruction: If the ACL is damaged, it is typically reconstructed using a graft. The graft may be obtained from the patient's own body (autograft), usually from the hamstring tendon or the patellar tendon, or from a donor (allograft). The damaged ACL is removed, and tunnels in the bone are drilled to place the graft, which is then secured with screws or other fixation devices to hold it in the correct position.
- Advantages: Knee arthroscopy with ACL reconstruction is minimally invasive, leading to less tissue damage, reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery times, and less scarring compared to open surgery. It allows for a more precise and controlled repair of the ACL.
- Recovery: Recovery involves a period of rest, followed by a rehabilitation program that includes physical therapy to restore knee strength, flexibility, and function. Rehabilitation is crucial and can last several months, depending on the individual's progress and the nature of their activities prior to injury.
- Outcomes: Most patients who undergo this procedure can expect to return to their pre-injury levels of activity, including sports, although it generally takes 6 to 12 months to fully regain knee stability and function.
Knee arthroscopy with ACL reconstruction is a standard and effective treatment for ACL injuries, helping athletes and active individuals regain knee stability and return to their normal activities.
