What is Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the major stabilizing ligament of knee. The ACL is located in the centre of the knee joint and runs from the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia  (shin bone ), through the centre of the knee . In this position, it functions to prevent a buckling type of instability of the knee. Symptoms: Initially, the symptoms are pain and fairly  immediate swelling and instability or a feeling of insecurity. The knee feels loose. Diagnosis & Surgery: Arthroscopy Surgeon will conduct physical tests and take X-ray and MRI to  determine the extent of damage to ACL. Most of the time, patients need reconstruction Surgery. The Arthroscopy surgeon replaces the damaged ACL with Strong, healthy tissue. A strip of  tendon from under your knee cap (patellar tendon) or hamstring may be used. The Arthroscopy Surgeon threads the tissue through the inside of the knee joint with Arthroscopic method, without opening the knees and secures the end to your thighbone and shinbone. At LOTUS, Arthroscopies of Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist & Hip are also done, routinely. Dr.Anil B Patil Chief of  Sports Medicine & Arthroscopic Surgeon.
