ACL injuries vary in severity, and treatment depends on the extent of damage and lifestyle needs. Patients who may require ACL treatment include those with:
- Complete ACL tears resulting in functional instability
- Athletes or active individuals seeking full functional recovery
- Associated injuries such as meniscus tears or cartilage damage
- Persistent pain and knee “giving way” despite conservative management
Early evaluation helps determine the best treatment approach. Dr. Utsav Agrawal conducts a thorough clinical assessment and imaging review to decide whether non-surgical care or ACL reconstruction surgery is the best option for each patient.
ACL treatment options span non-surgical and surgical pathways, depending on injury severity and patient goals:
- Conservative therapy including physiotherapy, bracing, and activity modification for mild partial tears
- Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using high-quality grafts for complete tears
- Combined repair techniques when other structures like menisci are involved
- Revision surgery for failed previous ACL repairs
Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s age, activity level, and lifestyle goals to maximise recovery.
Varunam Super Speciality Hospital provides advanced facilities to support ACL treatment, including:
- State-of-the-art imaging for accurate diagnosis (X-ray, MRI)
- Arthroscopic surgical systems for minimally invasive repair
- High-quality graft and fixation materials
- Dedicated physiotherapy and rehabilitation units
These facilities allow patients in Jabalpur to access comprehensive knee care without compromising quality, safety, or outcomes.
- Smaller incisions with reduced tissue trauma
- Faster postoperative recovery and less pain
- Short hospital stay with early mobilisation
- Lower risk of infection and complications
Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures enable patients to achieve quicker and more comfortable recovery while maintaining high surgical standards.
Maintaining knee health after ACL treatment requires consistent care and awareness. Patients are advised to:
- Follow physiotherapy and strengthening routines thoroughly
- Maintain a healthy weight to reduce knee joint stress
- Avoid high-impact activities until cleared by the surgeon
- Warm up before exercise to prevent reinjury
- Attend regular follow-ups with Dr. Utsav Agrawal
These steps support long-term knee stability, flexibility, and function, helping patients enjoy active lifestyles with confidence and safety.
