Dr. Paramjit Singh offers expert ACL reconstruction, a surgical procedure designed to restore stability and function to the knee following an ACL injury. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee joint, and injuries to this ligament often occur during activities that involve sudden stops, changes in direction, or pivoting, commonly seen in sports like football, basketball, and soccer. A torn ACL can lead to significant pain, swelling, and a sense of instability in the knee, making daily activities and sports challenging.
The ACL reconstruction process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your injury, which may include imaging tests such as an MRI to determine the extent of the damage. Dr. Singh typically performs the surgery using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. During the procedure, the damaged ACL is removed and replaced with a graft, which can be sourced from your own body (like the hamstring or patellar tendon) or from a donor. The graft is meticulously positioned to replicate the original ACL’s function and is secured to the bone, allowing for natural integration as your body heals.
Following ACL reconstruction, a structured rehabilitation program is essential for regaining strength, flexibility, and full functionality of the knee. Most patients can expect to return to their normal activities or sports after several months of dedicated rehabilitation, although recovery timelines can vary based on individual progress. Dr. Paramjit Singh is committed to helping patients achieve excellent long-term results, enabling many to return to their pre-injury levels of activity. If you’re considering ACL reconstruction, schedule a consultation with Dr. Singh to discuss your specific condition and understand the procedure and its expected outcomes. Your journey to recovery starts here!
