ACL Ligament Surgery In Bangladesh

The ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament is located in the knee behind the patellar ligament. The ACL is one of the four primary ligaments in the knee which connects the femur (thigh bone) with the tibia (shinbone) and keeps the knee in its place. The ACL also controls the movement of the tibia and knee rotation. The anterior cruciate ligament can get torn or damaged due to overuse or wrong knee rotation. Mild tears can hamper the regular movement of the knee, while severe tears can lead to knee instability or immobility.  

ACL ligament surgery helps to heal the torn ligament and restore the natural functioning of the knee. At SportsMed, we offer quality knee ligament surgery by the best arthroscopic surgeon dr. Vikram Sharma. Also, we provide advanced technical support and medical aid to ensure premium quality treatment and care. You get effective treatment for your knee when you visit us for ACL ligament surgery in Bangladesh.

When You Need an ACL Ligament Surgery

ACL is one of the most injury-prone ligaments in the human body. You can tear your ACL due to overuse or excessive pressure. But people involved with sports such as basketball, football, soccer, cricket, and skiing are at higher risk of injuring their anterior cruciate ligaments than ordinary people. ACL tears can be mild, moderate, or severe. 

Generally, mild and some moderate knee ligament tears resolve with rest, medication, and compression. But severe tears, like complete ligament rupture or multiple ligament tears, need surgery. ACL deficiency, like congenital malfunction issues, requires ACL surgery for treatment. Here are some common signs that suggest you need ACL ligament surgery in Bangladesh.

  • If non-surgical treatments fail to resolve the issue.
  • If the pain persists and reoccurs time and again.
  • Symptoms get worse with time.
  • Unbearable pain and swelling immediately after injury.
  • The injury takes longer than the usual recovery period or does not show any sign of improvement.
  • If you are unable to stand on your knee or facing knee instability.

All these are signs that your ACL is severely injured and you need ACL ligament surgery in Bangladesh. We at SportsMed, offer complete diagnosis and expert treatment by dr. Vikram Sharma for various ACL injuries and problems. 

What Happens in ACL Surgery- Things to Know

Several surgeries are available for ACL tears, but we offer arthroscopic ACL repair and restoration surgeries. ACL surgery is also a sensitive surgery, and you need to be very cautious during the post and pre-surgery periods. And you must have a good knowledge of what happens in ACL surgeries before you undergo any. 

We suggest several precautions before and after surgery to prevent potential risks and support fast recovery. At SportsMed, we recommend our patients maintain a healthy diet, quit alcohol and smoking, and perform muscle-strengthening exercises (if possible) before surgery.

In the post-surgery period, we recommend zero mobility for the first few days, no stress or pressure on the affected knee, no bending or weight lifting, and no walking on uneven landscapes and stairs.

If you have undergone ACL surgery in Bangladesh, you can expect some restrictions. You cannot wet your wound and take crutches when you are allowed to walk. ACL surgeries can take 3.5 to 6 months for complete recovery. The duration depends on the severity of your ligament injury. Also, following all the instructions will increase the recovery rate and effectiveness of the surgery. 

Also, remember some ACL surgeries are complicated. Though the chances are low, you should be careful about the following symptoms during recovery and contact the doctor if you face any of them.

  • If you feel pain in the knee even after taking prescribed medication. 
  • Fever and chills.
  • Smelly and sticky/watery fluid discharged from the wound. 
  • Unable to move the knee even after the recovery period.
  • No progress in your recovery period. 

ACL Surgery- Purpose & Treatment Process

ACL surgery treats ACL tears, and the primary purpose of ACL surgery is to repair the torn ACL and restore the usual workings of the knee. And if you have an untreated ACL torn, you can face feelings of knee instability. Knee instability means a sensational feeling of the knee giving out or buckling. Though there are no strict guidelines about who can undergo an ACL ligament surgery in Bangladesh, we recommend it only to patients of younger age, athletes, sports people, and people with injured ACL with other knee ligaments like PCL, MCL, LCL, etc. 

At SportsMed, we use ACL surgery as it is one of the effective and hassle-free methods of treating ACL tears. In ACL surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions on your knee to insert a micro camera and surgical tools inside it. The camera screens high-resolution internal pictures of the knee, and a surgeon operates the ligament tears with the help of micro equipment and camera-provided images. Before the surgery begins, our anesthesiologist gives you general or spinal anesthesia and monitors the entire surgery.
