ACL

The ACL procedure at Park Hospital is performed using advanced arthroscopic techniques to repair and reconstruct damaged knee ligaments with precision and minimal tissue disruption. Recommended for patients experiencing instability and restricted movement after ligament injuries, the procedure helps restore knee strength, flexibility, and long-term joint function.

Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament are commonly caused by sudden twisting movements, sports-related impact, awkward landing, or accidents that place excessive stress on the knee joint. Patients often experience stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, discomfort while walking, and instability during movement. To determine the severity of the injury, orthopedic specialists conduct detailed physical examinations along with imaging tests such as MRI scans and X-rays before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.

The surgical process is performed using minimally invasive arthroscopy, which allows surgeons to access the knee joint through small incisions. A tiny camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint to provide a clear internal view of the damaged structures. Once the torn ligament is identified, it is carefully removed and replaced with a tendon graft. Depending on the patient’s condition, the graft may be taken from the hamstring tendon, patellar tendon, or donor tissue. The reconstructed ligament is then secured using specialized fixation devices that help restore natural knee movement and long-term joint stability. Since the surgery involves minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, patients generally experience less pain, smaller scars, and faster healing compared to conventional open surgery methods.

One of the major advantages of arthroscopic reconstruction is quicker recovery and improved post-surgical comfort. The surgery is usually completed within one to two hours under spinal or general anesthesia, and patients are encouraged to begin controlled movement exercises soon afterward. Early rehabilitation helps improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and support gradual weight-bearing on the affected leg. Structured physiotherapy plays an important role in rebuilding muscle strength, improving balance, and restoring coordination in the knee joint over the following weeks and months.

With advanced surgical technology, experienced orthopedic specialists, and personalized rehabilitation support, Park Hospital provides comprehensive care focused on long-term recovery and mobility restoration. Timely treatment and proper rehabilitation can help patients return to daily activities, fitness routines, and sports with improved confidence and joint stability.
