ACL Repair Surgery in Mexicali Mexico

ACL Repair Surgery in Mexicali, Mexico

 

 

A torn anterior cruciate ligament or ACL is one of the most feared and common sports and work injuries. ACL is a ligament that works to stabilize the knee. When a tear occurs the orthopedic surgeon may advice a repair or reconstruction surgery, in conjunction with physical therapy.

The ACL Repair is a surgical procedure that involves replacing the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee with a tissue graft to restore normal knee function. The surgeon may use:

• autografts - part of the patient's body, such as the patellar tendon
• allograft - tissue taken from a donor

 

ACL Repair is highly recommended for:

• Athletes who want to continue in their sport, especially if the activity involves pivoting, cutting and jumping movements.
• Individuals who have completely torn their ACL or have a partial tear and the knee is very unstable.
• The ACL tear is causing the knee to bend during activities like stair climbing.
• Individuals who underwent physical therapy and the knee is still unstable.
• Individuals who have a job that requires knee strength and stability.

It will take about six weeks for the bone to completely attach to the graft. But duringthis period the patient can carefully walk using a cane.
