REST from activities that increase or aggravate
the pain or symptoms of swelling, stiffness or
locking.
ICE application to the injured area can help in
reducing the pain as well as the swelling. 10-20
minutes of ice packs could give a lot of relief
to the injury.  COMPRESSION to manage swelling
by wearing a tight elastic bandage around the
knee will suppress the swelling.

ELEVATION will also help in reducing swelling by
helping blood from accumulating in the legs.  In

knee brace will additionally provide stability

healing the injury and increasing the range of
motion of the knee.

The surgery itself would be decided after a few
factors are taken into consideration like the age
of the patient, activity level goal of the
patient especially if involved in sports or heavy
lifting and associated injuries.

ACL Reconstruction is the surgery that is
typically done to rectify ACL tear. A graft is
used to reconstruct the ligament either from the
persons own body or from a donor. This is done
where the ACL tear cannot be stitched together.
Grafts like the Patellar tendon, hamstring
tendon, quadriceps tendon or a cadaver tendon are
used in ACL Reconstruction surgery in Indore. The
patellar tendon heals faster while the hamstring
tendon provides easier surgical recovery and
lesser post-surgery pain. Quadriceps tendon is
mostly used on people who have already had one
ACL surgery. Cadaver tendons are used by some
surgeons as it saves them from removing the
patients one ligament to help repair another.
Where ever the graft is taken it is sutured to
the thigh bone and the shin bone of the patient
during the surgery.  Arthroscopic ACL
Reconstruction has now gained practice as this
method is very minimally invasive and will need
minimal rehabilitation time due to the very small
cut required to do the procedure. Dr. Manish

best consultant you can approach in case of knee
