ACL Reconstruction Introduction
ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. This ligament is important for keeping the knee stable, especially during movement. The surgery involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft taken from another part of the body or a donor.
Surgical Procedure of ACL Reconstruction
During ACL reconstruction, the surgeon first makes small cuts around the knee to insert a tiny camera and surgical instruments. The torn ACL is removed, and a new graft—usually from the patient’s hamstring, patellar tendon, or a donor—is carefully placed. This graft acts like a new ligament to support knee movement. Special surgical drills and arthroscopic tools are used to create tunnels in the bones to secure the graft. Screws or other fixation devices are then used to hold the graft in place until it heals. The surgery is minimally invasive and helps restore full knee function over time.
Why Doctors Recommend ACL Reconstruction
- To treat a complete ACL tear that causes knee instability.
- To help athletes or active individuals return to sports or physical activities.
- To prevent further damage to the knee joint, including cartilage or meniscus injury.
- When physical therapy fails to improve symptoms or function.
Instrumentation & Products for ACL Reconstruction
- ACL PCL Instrument Set: Specialized set for graft preparation, drilling, and fixation in cruciate ligament surgeries.
- Arthroscopy Shaver System and Shaver Blade: For debridement, shaping, and cleaning joint tissues during minimally invasive procedures.
- RF Cautery Machine: Provides precise cutting and coagulation under arthroscopic conditions.
- Arthroscope, Camera System, Sheath, Forceps, Graspers, and Suction Tubes: Essential for visualizing and maneuvering within the joint.
- Interference Screws (e.g., stainless steel or PEEK) for graft fixation.
- Endo-Button devices (Continuous Loop, Flexible Loop, Fixed Loop, with washer, etc.) to secure grafts effectively.
