2-3 DaysKnee ligament surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing damaged ligaments within the knee joint. The most commonly treated ligaments include the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), both of which are crucial for maintaining knee stability. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals who experience instability, pain, or loss of function due to ligament injuries.
The ACL and PCL are vital components of the knee joint, responsible for controlling forward and backward movement of the tibia relative to the femur. ACL injuries often result from sudden stops, changes in direction, or high-impact activities, whereas PCL injuries are commonly caused by direct trauma, such as car accidents or sports-related impacts. Both injuries can significantly impair mobility and require precise medical intervention.
Before recommending surgery, an orthopedic specialist conducts a thorough evaluation that includes physical examinations, imaging studies like MRI, and patient history analysis. These steps help determine the extent of the ligament damage and whether surgical intervention is the best option. Non-surgical treatments may be considered for partial tears or low-grade injuries.

Knee ligament surgery typically involves either repair or reconstruction. In repair procedures, the surgeon reattaches the torn ligament to its original position. Reconstruction involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft, which can be autografts (from the patient’s body) or allografts (from a donor). Arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique, is often used for its precision and faster recovery times.
Recovery from knee ligament surgery involves a structured rehabilitation program tailored to the patient’s needs. Physical therapy focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion while gradually reintroducing weight-bearing activities. Full recovery typically takes six to twelve months, depending on the procedure's complexity and the individual’s commitment to rehabilitation.
