ACL SURGERY - All Inside ACL Technique

What is new in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL Surgery)?

ALL-INSIDE ANATOMIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY IS RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ACL SURGERY

 ACL tear is a debilitating injury for any athlete or active individual. Physiotherapy can help patients to the control pain and regain freedom of motion partially. Surgery is the only option for individuals trying to get back into the activity or sport they love as normal. 

There have been tremendous advances in our understanding of ACL Injury and treatment over the past two decades.

As we know from the fact, women have a higher tendency of ACL Tear compared to men due to poor proprioception and difference in knee anatomy. 

Not much can be done with changes in anatomy. However, studies and research have shown reduced in the incidence of ACL tear with good proprioceptive training in women.

For any active individual, the preferred treatment for an ACL Tear is an ACL Reconstruction Surgery.  At Columbia Asia hospital, our surgical team is on the cutting edge for this kind of repair or reconstruction.

Using a minimally invasive approach, our sports surgeon is able to place a reconstructed ACL graft inside the correct position in the knee to restore anatomic knee joint function. 

This procedure is commonly called “All Inside ACL Technique.”

This new arthroscopically-assisted technique is performed by placing the ACL Graft in bone sockets in the knee joint, which allows the orthopaedic surgeon to avoid the drilling long bone tunnels.  

When the outer hard shell of the bone is preserved, patients experience less pain. Less pain means a quicker functional recovery and better satisfaction.
