ACL & PCL Reconstruction in Hyderabad

What Are ACL and PCL Injuries?

ACL Injury: Occurs when the anterior cruciate ligament is overstretched or torn—common in sports like football, basketball, or skiing.

PCL Injury: A less common but serious injury involving the posterior cruciate ligament, often caused by car accidents or high-impact falls.

These ligaments are essential for knee stability. When torn, they don't heal on their own and often require surgical reconstruction.

Signs You May Need ACL or PCL Reconstruction

Knee giving way during movement
Pain and swelling after activity
Difficulty in pivoting, turning, or climbing stairs
A popping sound at the time of injury
Inability to play sports or walk confidently
Limited range of motion in the knee

What is ACL & PCL Reconstruction?

ACL & PCL reconstruction is a minimally invasive surgery in which the torn ligament is replaced by a graft—usually taken from the patient's own hamstring, patellar tendon, or a donor.

ACL Reconstruction is the gold standard for restoring anterior knee stability.
PCL Reconstruction restores posterior knee control and is often more complex.
In some cases, combined ACL + PCL reconstruction is done if both ligaments are torn.
