Knee pain after a twist, fall, or sports injury? 😟 Feeling a pop in the knee followed by swelling and instability? You could be dealing with an ACL tear, a common but serious injury.
Hi, I’m Dr. Anupam Khandelwal, orthopedic and joint replacement surgeon in Indore, and I’ve treated hundreds of ACL injuries using the latest arthroscopic techniques. Whether you’re a young athlete, a fitness lover, or someone injured in daily life, this blog will guide you on everything you need to know about ACL surgery in Indore.
What is the ACL, and Why Is It Important? 🧠
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the major stabilizing ligaments in your knee. It helps you move, twist, and turn safely. When it tears, your knee can feel unstable or give way — especially during sports, running, or climbing stairs.
Common Causes of ACL Tears:
- Sudden stops or changes in direction
- Sports like football, cricket, kabaddi, and basketball
- Two-wheeler or road accidents (very common in Indore)
- Falls or missteps on stairs
Symptoms of an ACL Tear ⚠️
- Sudden pain and swelling in the knee
- Hearing or feeling a “pop”
- Difficulty walking or standing
- Knee giving way during movement
- Weakness or limited range of motion
If you live in Indore or nearby towns like Ujjain, Dewas, Mhow, or Khandwa — don’t ignore these signs. An early diagnosis can make recovery much easier! 👍
How I Diagnose an ACL Injury 🩻
As your orthopedic surgeon, I’ll examine your knee, ask about the injury, and confirm the diagnosis with:
- Clinical tests like the Lachman and Pivot Shift
- MRI scan (done at trusted diagnostic centers in Indore)
Once confirmed, we can discuss the best treatment path together.
Treatment Options for ACL Injuries 🛠️
1. Conservative Treatment (for partial tears or less active patients):
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
- Knee brace for support
- Physiotherapy to strengthen muscles
2. ACL Reconstruction Surgery (for complete tears or active individuals):
This is where I specialize! 💼
Arthroscopic ACL Ligament Surgery in Indore 🔍
In this minimally invasive surgery, I use a camera and specialized instruments to:
- Remove the torn ACL
- Replace it with a graft (usually from your own hamstring tendon)
- Fix it securely inside the knee joint
✅ Tiny incisions (keyhole surgery) ✅ Less pain & blood loss ✅ Shorter hospital stay ✅ Quicker return to normal activities
This technique is now the gold standard for ACL repair and available right here in Indore under expert care.
What is the Recovery Time? ⏳
Most patients:
- Go home the next day of surgery
- Start walking with support in a few days
- Resume driving in 3–4 weeks
- Return to sports in 6–9 months (based on rehab progress)
Rehabilitation is key and I work closely with physiotherapists in Indore to guide you step by step. 💪
