What are Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries?
A rupture or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), one of the powerful bands of tissue that aids in connecting your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone, is referred to as an ACL injury. Sports involving abrupt stops or changes in direction, jumping, and landing, such soccer, basketball, football, and downhill skiing, are the most typical culprits for ACL injury.
Types of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery (ACL)
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery comes in a variety of forms, all of which are equipped to offer the patient the best-functioning knee possible. The variability depends on the material used to create the graft, the new ligament. Patellar tendon autografts, hamstring autografts, and allografts are the three primary graft alternatives.
Who Needs ACL Reconstruction
You can consider ACL Reconstruction if you have:
- If your ACL is totally torn or partially torn and unstable
- You play a lot of sports or perform a job that requires stable and strong knees
- Your chronic (long-term) ACL deficit negatively impacts your quality of life
Deciding factors for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery (ACL)
- The extent of your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury
- The presence of concomitant knee problems
- Whether your quality of life has been affected negatively
What are the reasons for getting a ACL Reconstruction?
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery will let you resume regular activities like running, cycling, and the occasional weekend hike and regain full functionality of your knee.
ACL reconstruction in patients older than 60 years is conducted in terms of functional recovery, return to professional sports, and postoperative incidence of osteoarthritis
Advantages
- It enables patients to resume sports and other strenuous pursuits that require a stable knee.
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery has a success rate of roughly 80%.
- Restores knee stability
- Faster Recovery
Anatomy
Three bones meet to form the knee joint: the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and patella (kneecap). The kneecap sits in front of the joint to provide some protection. Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments. There are four primary ligaments in your knee. They act like strong ropes to hold the bones together and keep your knee stable.
Collateral Ligaments : These are found on the sides of your knee. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is on the inside, and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is on the outside. They control the side-to-side motion of your knee and brace it against unusual movement.
Cruciate Ligaments: These are found inside your knee joint. They cross each other to form an X, with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in front and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in back. The cruciate ligaments control the front and back motion of your knee. The anterior cruciate ligament runs diagonally in the middle of the knee. It prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur and provides rotational stability to the knee. The PCL keeps the shinbone from moving backward too far.
Causes
ACL injuries often happen during sports and fitness activities that can put stress on the knee:
- Suddenly slowing down and changing direction (cutting)
- Pivoting with your foot firmly planted
- Awkward Landing from a jump
- Receiving a direct blow to the knee or having a collision, such as a football tackle
