ACL Repair
ACL Repair in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic
At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish performs ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) repair using advanced surgical techniques to treat partial or complete ligament tears caused by sports injuries, accidents, or trauma. ACL repair preserves the patient’s natural ligament, restores knee stability, reduces pain, and enables a safe return to daily activities and sports.
What is ACL Repair?
ACL repair is a surgical procedure to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament without fully replacing it. The torn ligament is reattached to the bone using sutures or specialized anchors, allowing the natural ligament to heal. This minimally invasive procedure helps maintain the original ligament, restore knee stability, and promote faster recovery compared to full reconstruction in select cases.
Benefits of ACL Repair
ACL repair offers several advantages for patients with partial ligament tears or specific injury patterns. By preserving the natural ligament, patients benefit from quicker recovery, improved knee function, and long-term joint stability. Key benefits include:
- Preserves the natural ACL and promotes faster healing compared to full reconstruction.
- Restores knee stability, reducing the risk of future ligament injuries.
- Minimally invasive approach leads to less pain, smaller incisions, and quicker rehabilitation.
- Enables safe return to sports, exercise, and daily physical activities.
- Maintains long-term knee health and reduces the likelihood of early arthritis.
Recovery and Outcomes
- Early recovery focuses on controlled knee movement and gradual improvement in stability.
- Physiotherapy and targeted exercises help regain full knee function and strength.
- Patients often walk with support within 1–3 weeks, depending on the extent of the repair.
- Return to sports and high-impact activities is generally possible within 4–6 months, following careful rehabilitation.
- Successful ACL repair leads to restored stability, improved mobility, and reduced risk of reinjury.
