Will my knee ever be the same after ACL surgery?
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is one of
the two ligaments that connect the shinbone to
the thighbone and also stabilizes the knee joint.
Most of the injuries that happen to ACL are
mostly during rigorous sporting activities. This
injury can be inflicted in normal routine
activities too. Some minor ACL injuries could be
recuperated with physical therapy and some rest.
But those of a serious nature like a complete
tear need surgery and reconstruction of the
ligament fully with a graft.  The arthroscopic
surgery is minimally invasive and done under
general anesthesia and so the patient will be
unconscious during the procedure. During the
procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged
ligament and replaces it with a graft. It could
come from the patients own body or a deceased
donor. The graft is fixed to the thighbone and
the shinbone in place of the torn ACL. The graft
will serve as a base for the new ligament tissues
to grow.

The patient can go home the same day after an ACL
reconstruction surgery and also will be advised
to move his leg and practice waking before going
home with the assistance of course. A brace or a
splint would be in place to support and protect
the graft in the initial days of recuperation.
Swelling needs to be controlled by elevating your
leg and by other means that the doctor would
suggest and pain management is also of importance
for which the doctor would prescribe a few
medications. Rest is of utmost importance during
this period and so is a movement to the leg to
regulate good blood flow and avoid clots.

Keeping your wound dry and clean for faster
healing and avoiding infections is also a crucial
part of recovery that needs to be taken care of
very specifically. It could be advised to take
sponge baths for few days so that the wound does
not get wet or infected.  Physiotherapy after
ACL surgery aims at strengthening your muscles
around your knee for support and improve its
flexibility. Following proper physiotherapy,
which might give you some discomfort in the
initial stage, is a must. The physiotherapy will
strengthen the muscles around the knee, make your
knee more flexible and help in a faster recovery
process after the surgery. It will help you back
on your feet with confidence.
5
The rest of the range of motions will be brought
into practice gradually one by one in the coming
weeks with the help of a physiotherapist and a
lot of grit and determination from the patient to
do the regular exercise sessions and bear the
pain.

Proper surgery backed up with focused
rehabilitation will surely restore the full range
of motion, function and good stability of the
knee. The first few weeks after the surgery it
will be a good goal to strive for a range of
motions equal to the other good knee. Recovery
could take more than nine months and in some
cases even more. It will also depend on your
grit, discipline and good rehabilitation process
to put you back into almost the full range that
you used to enjoy before the injury. In about
some time even sports persons can get back to
their competitive game.  A good ACL
reconstruction surgeon like Dr. Manish Maheshwari
is sure of putting you back into the same level
of activity that you used to do before the ACL
injury. Dr. Manish Maheshwari the top Orthopedist
