ACL Reconstruction Surgery at Evolve Ortho Physio & Polyclinic
What is ACL Reconstruction Surgery?
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments in your knee that provides stability during movement. ACL injuries are common in athletes and active individuals, often caused by sudden twists, pivots, or sports accidents.
ACL Reconstruction Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which the torn ligament is replaced with a tissue graft (taken from the patient’s own body or a donor). This restores knee stability and allows patients to return to sports, work, and daily activities.
At Evolve Ortho Physio & Polyclinic, our orthopedic surgeons specialize in advanced arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, ensuring precise surgery with quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
Signs You May Need ACL Reconstruction
You may require ACL surgery if you have:
- A “popping” sound or sensation at the time of injury.
- Knee instability or the feeling that your knee is “giving way.”
- Pain and swelling that do not improve with rest and medication.
- Difficulty pivoting, twisting, or performing sports-related movements.
- Limited range of motion in the knee.
- Failure of non-surgical treatments (like physiotherapy or bracing).
If these symptoms affect your ability to stay active, the experts at Evolve Ortho Physio & Polyclinic can help you decide if ACL reconstruction is right for you.
How is ACL Reconstruction Performed?
- Arthroscopic Surgery: Small incisions are made, and a camera (arthroscope) guides the surgeon.
- Graft Placement: The torn ACL is replaced with a tendon graft, usually taken from the hamstring, patellar tendon, or donor tissue.
- Fixation: The graft is fixed securely into the knee using screws or other devices.
- Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy begins soon after surgery to restore strength and flexibility.
Benefits of ACL Reconstruction Surgery at Evolve Ortho Physio & Polyclinic Jaipur
- Restored Stability: Prevents the knee from buckling or “giving way.”
- Return to Sports: Most patients can resume sports and active lifestyles after rehabilitation.

- Lower Risk of Further Injury: Stabilizing the knee protects cartilage and reduces the risk of future meniscus or ligament damage.
Recovery & Rehabilitation After ACL Surgery
Recovery is a gradual process and requires commitment to physiotherapy.
- First Few Weeks: Focus on reducing swelling, regaining movement, and walking with support.
- 2–3 Months: Begin strengthening exercises and light physical activities.
- 6–9 Months: Most patients can safely return to sports and high-impact activities under medical supervision.
