Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using a tendon graft, with attention to the associated bone bruise and meniscus injury.
Who it may suit
- Complete ACL tear with giving-way of the knee
- Athletes and active people returning to pivoting sports
- ACL tear with associated meniscus tear
Dr. Bora's approach
- Anatomic graft placement through keyhole surgery
- Meniscus repair wherever possible rather than removal
- Subchondral bone bruises assessed and treated to protect the joint long term
Recovery
- Walking with support from day 1
- Return to running around 3–4 months
- Return to sport typically 9–12 months after strength testing
