Overview : Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries are one of the commonest sports injuries requiring surgery in my practice in Noida. With increasing interests in sports and also due to increasing prevalence of trauma and awareness in general population more people are seeking medical attention for knee injuries.

Better trained surgeons and easy availability of scanning facility also translates into more people getting appropriate treatment for this disabling injury.

Anterior cruciate ligament is an extremely important ligament of the knee which is key to the stability and function of the knee. More specifically it provides the knee rotational stability and its absence can cause the knee to give way or buckle which over time can lead to injuries to other structures of the knee and eventually can lead to early wear of the knee (also called Arthritis).

Since this injury is commonest in the younger age it is important that this injury is treated appropriately and promptly to avoid long term consequences. Anterior Cruciate ligament is injured by the twisting action of the knee which is common in sports when the foot gets jammed to the ground and the whole body gets twisted around the knee.

But this action can be mimicked in various other forms of injury like households accidents, road accidents, etc

There is a high incidence of reinjury due to the instability which may contribute to more injuries in form of meniscal or other ligament injuries.

Treatment for ACL Injury in Noida (Delhi NCR), India

The treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury is usually by the way of surgery, though occasionally some patients may be treated with physiotherapy and braces.

The surgery is done to reconstruct the torn ligament as just repairing the ligament does not work. The surgery is done arthroscopically which is a minimally invasive procedure. The reconstruction requires using tendons from elsewhere in the leg to act as the anterior cruciate ligament.

These are highly successful and safe surgeries which allow return to high level of sports after standard rehabilitation. The success rates for these surgeries is very high and is now established as the standard way to treat anterior cruciate ligament injury.
