ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, often caused by sudden stops, twisting motions, or direct trauma. ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure that replaces the torn ligament with a graft to restore knee stability and prevent further damage. Dr. Gautam Kodikal specializes in advanced arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, ensuring a swift and safe return to sport and activity.
ACL reconstruction is typically recommended for individuals who:
Experience repeated episodes of knee instability or giving way
Have associated meniscus tears or cartilage injuries
Are athletes or active individuals aiming to return to high-demand sports
Have not improved with physiotherapy and conservative care
Dr. Kodikal utilizes a systematic and modern approach to ACL reconstruction, offering:
High-definition arthroscopy for precise ligament repair
Use of autografts (patient’s own tissue) or allografts depending on individual needs
Minimal incision technique for reduced post-op pain and faster healing
Customized rehabilitation protocol to regain strength, mobility, and function
Improved knee stability during sports and daily activities
Prevention of further meniscus or cartilage damage
Better long-term joint health and lower risk of arthritis
Faster return to sports and physical activity
A torn ACL doesn’t have to end your active lifestyle. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Gautam Kodikal to receive expert diagnosis and explore personalized ACL reconstruction options.
