Restoring Stability, Rebuilding Confidence
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilizers of the knee joint. It prevents the shin bone (tibia) from sliding too far forward relative to the thigh bone (femur) and provides rotational stability.
At Trinay Orthopedic Hospital, we specialize in Anatomical ACL Reconstruction. Our goal is not just to fix the ligament, but to restore the full biomechanics of your knee so you can return to your pre-injury level of activity without fear.
Whether you are an athlete or simply want to stay active, our expert team is here to help. Visit our About Us page to know more, or Contact Us to schedule a consultation.
Grades of ACL Injury
- Grade 1: Mild stretch, stable knee.
- Grade 2: Partial tear with some looseness.
- Grade 3: Complete tear, unstable knee (Requires Surgery).
Recovery Timeline
Rebuilding an ACL is a journey. We break it down into four key phases:
Phase 1: Protection (Weeks 0-4) - Regaining extension and controlling swelling.
Phase 2: Strength (Weeks 5-12) - Building quads and normalizing walking graft.
Phase 3: Agility (Months 3-6) - Jogging and balance drills.
Phase 4: Return to Sport (Months 6-9+) - Full competitive play clearing.
Modern vs. Traditional Techniques
| Feature | Traditional | Modern Anatomical |
|---|---|---|
| Tunnel Placement | Often non-anatomical | True Footprint placement |
| Stability | Insufficent rotational control | Full Stability restored |
| Bone Stock | Large tunnels drilled | Socket technique used |
