ACL Reconstruction Surgery
ACL reconstruction surgery repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament, one of the most common serious knee injuries among athletes and physically active individuals. Dr. Keyur Shah diagnoses ACL tears through clinical examination and MRI, confirming the extent of the injury before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.
For patients with significant knee instability who want to return to an active or sporting lifestyle, arthroscopic ACL reconstruction offers reliable, long-lasting results. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Shah reconstructs the ligament through small incisions, which reduces post-operative pain and supports a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Recovery is a structured, supervised process that begins with restoring range of motion and reducing swelling, followed by progressive strengthening and sport-specific training. Most patients return to light activity within a few months, with full return to competitive sport typically around 6 to 9 months, depending on rehabilitation progress.
