Current trend is to do All inside semi-T 4 stranded single or double bundle ACL Reconstruction. This is what we practice here at The Knee Klinik in Pune. Results are very gratifying with a very high success rate. We allow our international level or professional sports persons to hit the ground not before 6 months.
Only 0 to 90 degree of flexion of knee is permitted non weight bearing in the first 3-4 weeks post surgery supported by a hinged knee brace with locking mechanism. On weight bearing we allow 0-10 degree of knee flexion with the hinges of brace locked at 10 degrees. Domestic ambulatory from day one permitted.
Aggressive quads strengthening protocol is followed from day one of surgery.
