ACL injuries commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or direction changes. Football, cricket, basketball, and running increase the risk. Road accidents and falls can also damage the ligament.
Weak muscles, improper training, and previous knee injuries further raise the risk. Dr. Utsav Agrawal evaluates the cause carefully to design the most effective treatment plan. This personalized approach improves surgical outcomes.
Not all ACL injuries require surgery. However, surgery becomes necessary when instability affects daily life. Common symptoms include knee giving way, repeated swelling, pain during movement, and limited activity.
Athletes and physically active individuals often need surgery to regain full knee function. At Varunam Super Speciality Hospital, Dr. Utsav Agrawal determines the need for surgery after detailed clinical assessment and imaging.
Dr. Utsav Agrawal performs ACL ligament surgery using minimally invasive arthroscopic methods. Small incisions allow faster healing and reduced pain. During surgery, the torn ligament is reconstructed using a graft to restore knee stability.
Modern surgical techniques ensure accurate graft placement and strong fixation. As a result, patients experience better knee function and long-term stability. The procedure focuses on safety, precision, and faster recovery.
