Arthroscopic ACL and PCL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee using an arthroscope. This minimally invasive technique involves replacing the damaged ligaments with a graft, often from the patient’s own body, to restore knee stability. It involves replacing the damaged ligaments with a graft, often taken from the patient’s own tissue (autograft) or a donor (allograft), to restore knee stability
Arthroscopic reconstruction is a complex but effective surgical procedure often performed after severe multi-ligament knee injuries, such as those caused by high-impact trauma or dislocation
What the Procedure Involves
- Arthroscopic Technique: Minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgery.
- Allograft Use: Donor tissue (allograft)) is used to replace the torn ligaments, reducing donor site morbidity compared to autografts.
- Reconstruction Goals: Restore knee stability, prevent further cartilage or meniscal damage, and allow return to functional activity
