Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is commonly done in patients experiencing ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) tear injuries. ACL tear injuries are common for athletic persons and also in patients who have been through an accident. At Zoi, the ACL is repaired with the All-in-one technique.
Once an ACL is torn, it cannot regenerate and hence, restricts the movement of the knee. ACL surgery helps in the reconstruction of ACL and helps the patients in returning back to their normal lifestyle.

To keep your knee stable, four ligaments (LCL, MCL, ACL & PCL) act like a hinge for you to move freely. To repair the torn ACL, a tiny camera and a probe to inspect the damaged joint is inserted. Then a small shaver is used to remove the damaged area. Then a tunnel is created and hamstring grafts are taken, placed at the site of ACL and fixed with tightrope and screws. A new ACL grows over the graft, restoring the person to normal health.
Our team stands ready to provide you with a thorough examination and diagnosis so that if a procedure is needed, you are well aware of your options. Doctors perform routine tests, pre-anesthetic check-up, and preoperative evaluation for a better postoperative pain management.
If you are a candidate for the surgery, your Surgeon will determine the best suited implant (local or imported) for you. Depending on the health of the patient and convenience, custom implants can also be provided. The types of implant required for this procedure are
Zoi Hospitals is one of the pioneers of arthroscopic surgeries. We incorporate advanced equipment like FULL HD CMOS (conmed, stryker, Karl-Storz) camera, Shaver systems (arthrex, conmed), Radiofrequency Ablators. These advanced technologies enable them to remove the damaged tissue with precision and insert the implant in the exact position.
A simple one to two hour ACL surgery to make sure you live pain-free until the end of time. After the procedure, long leg knee brace is applied for 6 weeks. You can start walking immediately on the next day of the surgery.
Full recovery is when the patient is able to perform all of his or her activities independently, relatively pain-free and able to drive their own vehicle. Minimal pain may be observed at the end of the first month. Ideally, it would take 4-5 months for full recovery. Full recovery period varies from person to person, depending on age.
ACL repair is carried out on a patient so that the damaged ACL is reconstructed. It is a minimally invasive surgery that is pain-free and helps the patient carry out daily activities independently. It helps alleviate the dependency on painkillers and lead a happy life.
Once discharged, the physical therapist follows the patient at home and guides through the process of rehabilitation. Physiotherapy is done in 2 sessions over 2 months with additional rehab for sportspersons.
An open procedure was the primary treatment before the invention of arthroscopy. But in the last decade, arthroscopic ACL reconstruction has become the gold standard in treating ACL tears. The latest option of ACL reconstruction by All-In-Technique has become popular as it is gracilis sparing (only one graft required), cosmetic and has a faster recovery. The All-In-Technique is also one of the specializations of Zoi.
