Sports Injury Surgery
Advanced reconstruction to restore stability and return athletes to pivoting sports.
Procedure Overview
Sports Injury Surgery encompasses advanced reconstructive procedures to repair torn ligaments, tendons, and cartilage in active individuals. Focusing on anatomical ligament reconstruction (such as ACL and PCL repairs), this specialized care aims to restore knee stability and safely return athletes to high-level sports.
Surgical Approach & Technique
For ACL reconstruction, the torn ligament is removed and replaced with a tissue graft (typically hamstring, patellar, or quadriceps tendon). The graft is positioned anatomically and secured inside bone tunnels using high-strength fixation screws or suspensory devices.
Procedure Highlights
- Anatomical ACL/PCL reconstructions
- High-strength suspensory fixation
- Phased sports-specific rehabilitation
Who May Be a Candidate?
- ✓ Athletes with torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) causing knee instability.
- ✓ Patients with multi-ligament knee injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL tears).
- ✓ Active individuals with patellar instability or recurrent kneecap dislocations.
Common Symptoms & Conditions
- ▪ A loud 'pop' felt or heard in the knee at the time of injury.
- ▪ Rapid, severe swelling and inability to bear weight immediately after injury.
- ▪ Knee giving way or feeling unstable during pivoting or lateral movements.
Postoperative Recovery Pathway
Rehabilitation is a phased, sports-specific process. The first phase focuses on reducing swelling and restoring range of motion. The second phase builds strength, followed by functional agility drills. Return to competitive pivoting sports typically takes 9 to 12 months.
