ACL Reconstruction

This Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is performed using arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery. There is a small (4 to 5 cm) incision below the knee where the tendons for the graft are harvested from. The basic technique of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is to identify the correct insertion points on the femur and tibia for the ACL. At these insertion points tunnels of an appropriate size to match the graft are drilled through the bone. The graft is then pulled up through the bone and is secured using screws.

[irissalexiabee]

@sandeepsonam1 yeah, you can run, that's exactly how mine is actually. you just need to get it strong enough to where you're comfortable to run again :)

@irissalexiabee when i bend my knee than in last moment there is small pain and not completly bend. and size is also less than other leg. and can i run ??

[irissalexiabee]

@sandeepsonam1 I still have small pain also, according to my doctor it's a normal pain in the healing process :) But is it like tired pain or real pain? It should seem like it's tired, like you can feel the weakness in your knee. Shouldn't be anything to worry about, just continue what you do :)
