Learn about the "anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) arthroscopic surgery" technique: small incision, quick recovery.
Arthroscopic surgery for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury may be the answer to restoring normal movement.
ACL arthroscopic surgery: A minimally invasive technique that restores knee stability.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) arthroscopic surgery, also known as MIS ACL surgery, is a significant step in modern knee treatment. It not only repairs torn ligaments but is also designed to effectively restore knee function.
A small camera is inserted into the knee joint to allow the doctor to clearly see the damage inside. Then, special instruments are used to replace the torn ligament with a new one. The doctor may use the patient's own tendon, such as the hamstring tendon, or a tendon from a donor.
A doctor's experience helps to provide accurate treatment.
However, the key to this technique is precision at every step, requiring the experience and expertise of a specialized medical team to carefully attach the new ligament to the femur and tibia. If the angle is incorrect or the tension is not right, it can limit knee movement or increase the risk of re-injury.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery.
What makes arthroscopic surgery so outstanding is the small size of the incisions, just a few millimeters, which minimizes damage to surrounding tissues—a contributing factor to the formation of scar tissue within the knee joint. As a result, patients experience less post-operative pain, recover and move more quickly, and can return to their daily lives or activities sooner, such as exercising, playing sports, or working in jobs that heavily rely on the knees.
Post-surgical rehabilitation: For lasting results.
Following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) arthroscopic surgery, patients will begin physical therapy within a few days to stimulate faster regain of knee mobility, reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness. This is followed by strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee and training in proper balance.
Every step of the process will be closely monitored by the medical and physiotherapy team at S Hospital, which will help patients recover steadily, regain movement, and confidently resume their daily lives.
