KNEE LIGAMENT
RECONSTRUCTION AT GUSTAVEL ORTHOPEDICS

Ligaments provide support and regulate movement in the knee joints. Sometimes, the connective tissue and ligaments inside the knee are injured. Most ligament injuries occur in sports, though they can also occur during falls or due to brute force. Limitation in your knee's movement is a clear indication that you have a knee condition, and you should make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon.

What Happens During Knee Ligament Reconstruction?

An orthopedic surgeon performs Knee Ligament Reconstruction surgery under general anesthesia and sometimes under spinal anesthesia, depending on your injury's degree.

• To begin, you'll change into a gown, and an IV will be administered.
• Then, you'll be positioned on the operating table.
• The anesthesiologist will monitor your vitals.
• The skin in the area covering the injury will be sterilized.
• Your orthopedic surgeon will make small incisions in the knee area and inserts an arthroscope.
• The orthopedist will create tiny holes in the tibia and femur, where previous torn ligaments had been attached.
• Grafted Patellar Tendon will be threaded through the holes and fastened with surgical staples.
• The surgeon will close the incisions.
• A sterile bandage will cover the site of your knee arthroscopy.
