Clinical examination: X-rays of both your legs, Lachman test, pivot shift test and more may be conducted by the doctor.

The purpose of an ACL Reconstructive Surgery is to regain stability of the knee. The doctor will begin the operation by providing you with general anesthesia. Various incisions are made so that all surgical instruments including an arthroscope can reach the injury site. 

The surgeon will remove the damaged ligament from your body. He/she will replace it with another segment of the tendon, also called graft. This graft is obtained from some other part of your body or a deceased donor. 

The surgeon will fix the graft in your bones using sockets and screws. The new ligament tissue will grow on the graft.

This nursing method is an outpatient procedure. You should expect the following steps after the process:

• You can go home the same day. Before leaving the hospital, you will be asked to practice walking with crutches. 

• Your doctor will give you guidelines on how to control swelling and pain.

• You are expected to rest as much as possible 

• Your surgeon will tell you when to apply ice to your knee. 

• The paramedical staff will instruct on how to take your medicines. 

• Physical therapy will be taught at the right time, post-procedure.
