About the offer

The arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a specialized, minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to restore knee stability and function following an ACL tear. This advanced procedure is conducted at the Regenerative Therapy Center Manchester, ensuring patients benefit from cutting-edge techniques and swift recovery. The ACL reconstruction involves using arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique where a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the knee through tiny incisions. This allows surgeons to visualize the internal structures of the knee with high precision. During the procedure, the damaged ACL is removed and replaced with a graft, typically harvested from the patient’s hamstring or patellar tendon or sometimes from a donor. This method offers several advantages, including reduced pain, minimized scarring, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. The procedure typically lasts about 1-2 hours, and most patients can return home on the same day, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Patients will follow a tailored rehabilitation program post-surgery to restore knee strength and mobility. Physical therapy is crucial and begins shortly after surgery.

FAQ

What is ACL reconstruction?

In ACL reconstruction, surgeons replace the torn ligament with a graft, often sourced from the patient's own body, such as the patellar tendon or hamstring, or from a donor, referred to as an allograft.

How long does it take to recover from arthroscopic ACL reconstruction?

You might resume most of your regular activities within several weeks, but it will take several months to regain knee function fully. Complete recovery from strenuous activities or sports may take 6 months to a year.

What is the alternative to ACL reconstruction?

ACL tears, especially common in athletes and more frequent in women, often lead to surgical recommendations. Stem cell therapy is emerging as a promising alternative, offering the potential for faster recovery and better outcomes without the risks associated with surgery.
