Preparing for ACL Surgery: Ensuring Optimal Conditions for Success
At Sportsmed Jaipur, Department of Advanced Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine, under the leadership of Dr. Vikram Sharma, we emphasize the importance of thorough preoperative preparation for ACL surgery. Proper preparation is crucial to ensure the best outcomes and minimize potential complications. Here’s what we focus on to ensure you're ready for surgery:
1. Knee Bending Range:
Before ACL surgery, it’s essential that your knee can bend from 0 to 90 degrees. This range of motion is critical to facilitate a smooth surgical process and effective post-surgery recovery. Achieving this range helps in reducing complications and ensuring that the knee joint is in optimal condition for the procedure.
2. Managing Swelling and Pain:
Minimizing swelling and pain before surgery is vital. Excessive swelling can complicate the surgery and extend recovery time. Our approach involves preoperative management techniques to control inflammation and discomfort, which includes tailored exercises and physical therapy.
3. Addressing Flexion and Extension:
We focus on ensuring that there is no Fixed Flexion Deformity (FFD) or extension lag in the knee. These issues can impede surgical outcomes and delay rehabilitation. Our prehabilitation protocols are designed to correct these issues, enhancing knee function and stability before the operation.
4. Prehabilitation:
Prehabilitation is a key component of our pre-surgical protocol. This involves targeted exercises and physical therapy designed to strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve flexibility, and prepare the joint for the stresses of surgery. Effective prehabilitation helps in faster recovery and reduces the risk of postoperative complications.
5. Timing of Surgery:
We adhere to ethical principles by ensuring that the timing of your surgery is appropriate to avoid complications such as stiffness. An ideal surgery timing is determined based on thorough assessments and preoperative conditions, ensuring that the joint is in the best possible shape for the procedure.
