Common Types of Ligament Reconstruction

1. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction:One of the most common ligament reconstruction procedures, ACL reconstruction involves replacing the torn ligament in the knee with a graft taken from the patient’s own body (autograft) or a donor (allograft).
2. Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Reconstruction:This procedure repairs or reconstructs the MCL, a ligament located on the inner side of the knee, which is often injured due to sports activities.
3. Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction:PCL injuries are less common than ACL injuries but can also require reconstruction to restore knee stability.
4. Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Reconstruction:The LCL, located on the outer side of the knee, may need reconstruction if it is severely damaged.
5. Rotator Cuff Repair: In the shoulder, ligament reconstruction can involve repairing torn tendons in the rotator cuff to restore shoulder stability and function.

Treatment Process for Ligament Reconstruction

Diagnosis and Evaluation: Dr. Bhaskar Shetty / Dr. Anvith Shetty and their team performs a comprehensive assessment, including physical examination and diagnostic imaging (MRI, X-rays) to evaluate the extent of ligament damage and determine the most appropriate treatment plan..

Preoperative Preparation: Patients receive guidance on pre-surgery preparation, including physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the affected joint.

Surgical Procedure: Ligament reconstruction is typically performed arthroscopically, using small incisions and specialized instruments to minimize tissue damage and promote faster recovery. The damaged ligament is repaired or replaced with a graft.

Postoperative Care: Patients are provided with detailed postoperative instructions, including pain management strategies and activity restrictions to ensure optimal healing.

Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy: A tailored rehabilitation program is crucial for regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapy sessions focus on exercises to improve joint stability and prevent future injuries.

Follow-up Care: Regular follow-up visits with Dr. Bhaskar Shetty and Dr. Anvith Shetty are scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan..

Benefits of Ligament Reconstruction

1. Restores Joint Stability: Reconstructing damaged ligaments restores stability to the joint, reducing the risk of further injury.
2. Improves Function and Mobility: Patients can return to their normal activities and sports with improved joint function and mobility.
3. Reduces Pain and Discomfort: By addressing the underlying cause of joint instability, ligament reconstruction relives the pain and discomfort.
4. Minimally Invasive Techniques: Arthroscopic procedures result in smaller incisions, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery times.
