The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilising structures of the knee that prevents the shinbone from sliding forward. It is mostly injured along with knee ligament injuries. Active people and especially Athletes in sports that involve running, jumping or pivoting like football, basketball or even cricket are at risk for ACL injuries.
An ACL injury is characterized by the person feeling a pop, having swelling and feeling an unsteady knee. Complete ligament tears do not heal by themselves as opposed to minor sprain injuries which do respond to rest and physiotherapy. This is as a result of the ligament having a poor blood supply.
An untreated ACL tear can result in an individual having instability and damage to their cartilage and could get arthritis at an earlier age.
For those living in Faridabad, it’s really important to get a quick and correct diagnosis and get ACL treatment as soon as possible to regain strength, avoid more damage to the knee and lead an active life without pain.
Getting the right diagnosis is really important for getting the best results after ACL reconstruction surgery in Faridabad.
At YKOrthopaedics, the process for diagnosis starts with a physical assessment which includes the Lachman test and Pivot Shift test to evaluate the stability of the knee.
MRI scans are done to identify ACL tears, as well as any tears in the meniscus and cartilage. To rule out fractures, X-rays are also done.
Based on the clinical notes and the pictures, Dr. Yugal prepares individual plans taking into consideration the patient’s age, lifestyle, and activity levels.
When the diagnosis is early, there is no further damage, and the success rate for both conservative and surgical treatments is substantially higher.
At YKOrthopaedics which is located in Faridabad, ACL treatments depend on injury severity, activity level and long-term goals. Physiotherapy, bracing and strengthening exercises may help with mild sprains and partial tears.

In Faridabad, a doctor performs your arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and uses a camera and special tools for a minimally invasive procedure.
He first takes out the damaged ACL. After that, he drills small tunnels in the femur and tibia, and he will use those to attach a new graft which will act as a replacement ligament. The graft may come from the patient's hamstring, quadriceps or patellar tendon.
It usually takes about an hour to complete and uses minimal incisions, which will lessen blood loss and scarring. Most patients begin gentle movements and partial weight bearing activities 24 to 48 hours after rehabilitation. The graft, under Dr. Yugal's skilled guidance, heals then regains complete function of the ligament over time.
The advanced, precise, and developed arthroscopic technique of ACL surgery provides quicker recovery times, only a small amount of pain and overall improvement to ACL reconstruction surgery long term.
When performing an ACL surgery in Faridabad, picking the right graft means everything for reconstruction success. Based on age, knee anatomy, activity level, and goals for recovery, Dr. Yugal Karkhur chooses the best graft.
For ACL surgery, Autografts are the most common preference. Autografts are when ACL tissue is taken from the body. Hamstrings, Quadriceps, and Patellar tendons are the most commonly used grafts during surgery for their strength and endurance.
Allograft tissues from other people are used for revision surgeries or multi-ligament reconstructions. Every graft type has different biomechanics and the choice is made after understanding the particular patient’s needs.
At YKOrthopaedics, advanced fixation devices and meticulous alignment assure remarkable integration and stability. The patient-specific graft selection process contributes to the longevity of the outcomes and ACL reconstruction surgery performance for each individual.
