Here is the ACL surgery Video.
It’s been quite a delay for my ACL surgery. Had been advised a complete ROM before the surgery. Finally the day came for the surgery on 3rd Sep 2008.
I got admitted myself for the surgery at HOSMAT, Bangalore.
HOSMAT has been a one of the leading hospitals for Knee Surgery in Bangalore and decided to get operated after consulting other leadings hospitals.
The Surgery is done using a arthroscopic method.
The doctor replaces the damaged ACL with strong, healthy tissue. A strip of tendon from under your knee cap (patellar tendon) was used.
The doctor threads the tissue through the inside of your knee joint with the arthroscopic method, without opening the knees and secures the end to your thighbone and shinbone.
The entire operation can be seen by the patient on the television.
I was given a shot of Anesthesia which numbs the lower part of body. I could not feel a bit of sensation during the whole operation. I was able to view certain parts of my surgery through the Television camera. Technology has improved a lot these days and the procedure of ACL surgery has changed a lot.
The entire operation lasted for few hours and I had the effect of numbness for few hours after the surgery.

Thank yuo for your post. I am planning to do an ACL reconstruction at HOSMAT. Can you kindly help me understand the rehab process?
1. For how long you had to be on comlete rest before getting back to work?
2. Did you do your rehab at HOSMAT? Did you have to go daily to HOSMAT for the first few weeks?
3. I heard that the whole rehab process takes over 6 months. Did you have to got HOSMAT reguarly for rehab or after few weeks you could go to a gym to strengthen your muscles?
It will be very helpful if you could please take some time to answer my questions. You can email me at gowris@yahoo.com or at gowris1975@gmail.com. Thank you. Gowrishankar
