ACL/PCL
Posterior cruciate ligament and anterior cruciate ligament in the knee: The cruciate ligament is very important for the stability of the knee, and people with a damaged ligament in their knee often complain that their knee suddenly empties. Therefore, many patients with cruciate ligament rupture can have surgery to treat the injury. PCL injury and rupture is usually caused by a direct blow to the knee in a bent position. The posterior cruciate ligament is the strongest knee ligament, and reconstructive surgery is usually performed when the ligament rupture is complete and function is impaired.
Surgical method
PCL / ACL repair is performed either as the arthroscopic method (closed surgery method) or open surgery method. Arthroscopic procedures are far less invasive than open surgery. Complications after surgery are much less and the length of hospital stay and recovery period will be shorter.
In arthroscopic surgery, the surgeon accesses the ligament through several holes and repairs it. Knee arthroscopy can be performed under general or local anesthesia. After the patient is anesthetized or after the area has been sufficiently anesthetized, the surgeon makes holes to reach the knee joint. These holes are made in specific areas that minimize the risk of damage to nerves, blood vessels, and tendons. Through one of these holes, a camera is inserted into the joint, and through the other holes, small tools can be inserted to fix the knee problem. Patients undergoing knee arthroscopy surgery under local anesthesia can often watch the procedure on a monitor to see what is causing the problem. The time of knee arthroscopy varies depending on what needs to be done. After the operation, a soft bandage is applied around the knee. After this surgery, the patient should start his physiotherapy course in consultation with the surgeon. In most patients, a tube is inserted into the surgical site to drain blood and fluids, called a drain. This drain is removed from the patient’s body upon discharge from the hospital.
