FAQ
Is arthroscopic ACL better than open surgery?
Yes, keyhole (arthroscopic) approaches generally allow reduced pain, earlier motion and faster recovery — though long-term stability depends on correct technique and rehabilitation.
Which ACL graft is the best?
- Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone (BPTB) – Best choice for competitive athletes.
- Hamstring Tendon (Semitendinosus ± Gracilis) – Best for general population & non-contact sports.
- Quadriceps Tendon (± Bone Plug) – Excellent alternative to BPTB.
- Allograft (Cadaver Graft) – Avoid in young athletes
Do all ACL tears need surgery?
No. Partial tears or low-activity lifestyles may be managed without surgery. But persistent instability or pivoting sports favour surgical reconstruction.
When can I return to sport after ACL reconstruction?
Return to sport (RTS) after ACL reconstruction is based on function, not just time.
Returning before 6 months → 2–4× higher re-injury risk
Young athletes (<25 yrs) have highest re-tear risk
Rehab quality matters more than graft type
Minimum 9 months for pivot sports
What about meniscus injury along with ACL?
If your MRI shows a meniscus tear along with ACL injury, we prioritise meniscus repair or preservation to protect knee cartilage and longevity.
