Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction for knee instability after ligament injury.
Clinic AppointmentsThe Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilizing ligaments of the knee. When torn — usually during sports — it causes instability, pain, and often requires surgical reconstruction. Dr. Sumit performs arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using a graft from your own tissue (autograft).
Arthroscopic technique — minimal invasion
Own tissue graft for natural strength
Aims to restore knee stability
Return to sport typically in 6–9 months
Structured rehabilitation after surgery
Comprehensive physiotherapy protocol included
Typical timeline for many patients. Individual recovery varies.
Not always. Dr. Sumit evaluates your activity level, age, and instability before recommending surgery vs. conservative management.
Usually hamstring or patellar tendon from your own body — called autograft. The choice is discussed before surgery.
Many athletes typically return to sport by 6–9 months with a proper rehabilitation programme.
Published studies report re-tear rates of roughly 5–10%; following rehabilitation and return-to-sport testing helps lower the risk.
