An ACL reconstruction is a procedure that is done to replace a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). ACL is a major ligament of the knee. In this procedure, the torn ligament is removed and replaced with a tendon from some other part of the knee or in some cases from a deceased donor. This procedure is performed through small incisions around the knee joint.
Causes leading to ACL Reconstruction
What does the ACL do?
The ACL is one of two ligaments within the knee joint. This ACL runs from the top surface of the tibia diagonally at the end of the femur and prevents the tibia from sliding too far underneath the femur and over-straightening and over-rotation of the femur on the tibia.
What are the signs and symptoms of an ACL injury?
Some patients hear or feel a “pop” when the ACL tears with immediate onset of swelling and pain and instability when patients describe an unstable sensation in the knee.
How does an ACL injury happen?
An ACL injury usually occurs when the knee is sharply twisted or extended beyond its normal range of motion.
Is surgery always needed for an ACL tear?
Surgery is not required for all ACL injuries. Partial tears, in which a physical examination shows a relatively stable knee, may be treated with bracing and rehabilitation.

My day to day life started to hamper, due to unbearable back pain and painful limbs. I was scared of surgery as I have never been admitted in a hospital ever before in my life. I was confused with all the options popping in the internet. I came across the site of Medtravels and started exploring it. The reviews and testimonials gave me a confidence. I contacted them explained my condition and also how scared I am of the whole process. The team was so sensitive to my situation and always reassuring about the services and the whole treatment process. They provided me with multiple opinions with detailed profile of hospitals and doctors and I made my choice. Once am in the hospital, a minimally invasive surgery was performed and I was out of the hospital in just four days. The attention provided by all staff nurses and doctors are commendable, they were very kind and considerate. The team of Medtravels has always been a companion through my treatment journey. I am now back to a normal life and have regained my quality of life.
A couple of year back, I was diagnosed with arthritis in right leg and the only cure was a hip joint replacement surgery. I heard of Medtravels from a friend who happens to have some past business experience with the company. So, he helped me reach out to the Associates in Medtravels, who then asked for all my past medical reports, I shared the reports and almost within 24 hours I was given an estimate that actually suited my expenses. However, I went online for more information about the company and their hospitals and was very impressed by the response and tie-ups they had. I was to travel alone, so I was a little uncomfortable travelling to a completely different country. However, immediately upon arrival there was an executive from Medtravels to pick me up. It seemed much more organized than I expected it to be. That alone was comforting. Once I arrived at the hospital, I felt very reassured about my surgery seeing the world class facilities available in the Hospital. I felt very assured that I was in good hands as there was truly open communication between doctors and myself. After my successful surgery, I left India but with memories to cherish and a friend like Team Medtravels herein.
