ACL/PCL Reconstruction

ACL/PCL Reconstruction Surgery by Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar

PCL and ACL Reconstruction Surgeon in Jayanagar, Bangalore

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries are among the most common and debilitating knee problems, often resulting from sports, high-impact trauma, or accidents. These crucial ligaments stabilize the knee joint during movement, and when torn, they can lead to pain, instability, and reduced mobility. At the clinic of Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar, a leading orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports injuries and arthroscopic surgeries, patients receive advanced and personalized care for ACL and PCL reconstruction.

Understanding ACL and PCL Injuries

The ACL runs diagonally in the middle of the knee and prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, while the PCL prevents it from sliding backward. Injuries to these ligaments can range from partial tears to complete ruptures and often present symptoms like knee swelling, instability, difficulty bearing weight, and a popping sound at the time of injury.

When Is Reconstruction Needed?

Reconstruction is typically recommended when:

  • The ligament is completely torn.

  • Conservative treatment has failed.

  • There is significant knee instability.

  • The patient is young, active, or engaged in sports.
    Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to reconstruct the torn ligament using tendon grafts, either from the patient’s own tissue or a donor.

What to Expect from Surgery

ACL/PCL reconstruction is performed under regional or general anesthesia. Using tiny incisions, the torn ligament is replaced with a graft, which is secured in place to restore normal joint function. Dr. Yogish follows a meticulous surgical approach to ensure optimal outcomes and faster recovery with minimal scarring.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in recovery. Dr. Yogish’s team provides a comprehensive post-surgical physiotherapy plan that focuses on:

  • Regaining range of motion

  • Strengthening the knee muscles

  • Improving joint stability
    Most patients return to routine activities in 4-6 weeks and to sports within 6-9 months, depending on individual progress.
