About ACL Reconstruction Surgery
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is the key stabiliser of the knee — and the most commonly torn ligament in sports like football, kabaddi, cricket, and badminton, or in two-wheeler accidents. A complete ACL tear in an active person often causes the knee to "give way", and repeated instability episodes damage the meniscus and cartilage over time.
At Preeti Jain Orthopedic Clinic, Nashik Road, Dr. Mayuri Jain Daryani evaluates knee injuries with clinical stability tests and MRI, and gives clear guidance on the reconstruction-versus-rehabilitation decision. Not every ACL tear needs surgery — the choice depends on your age, activity level, degree of instability, and associated injuries.
For patients who undergo ACL reconstruction, the torn ligament is replaced with a graft through keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery. The result depends as much on disciplined, stage-wise rehabilitation as on the operation itself, and Dr. Mayuri supervises that journey from injury to return-to-play.
When Is It Needed?
Complete ACL tear in a young or sporting-active person
Knee repeatedly "giving way" during activity or sport
ACL tear combined with meniscus injury
Instability that persists despite 6–12 weeks of structured rehabilitation
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Walking with support begins within days; jogging typically resumes around 3–4 months; return to competitive pivoting sports takes 8–12 months, guided by strength and stability milestones rather than the calendar alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get ACL reconstruction surgery in Nashik?
Start with an evaluation at Preeti Jain Orthopedic Clinic, Nashik Road. Dr. Mayuri Jain Daryani confirms the diagnosis with examination and MRI, advises whether reconstruction is needed for your activity level, and guides the surgery and rehabilitation.
Can an ACL tear heal without surgery?
A complete ACL tear does not regrow, but not everyone needs surgery. Less active people can often function well with muscle strengthening and activity modification. Athletes and people with recurrent instability usually benefit from reconstruction.
How soon after an ACL injury should surgery be done?
Usually after the initial swelling settles and knee movement recovers — typically 3–6 weeks after injury. Regaining motion first ("prehab") improves surgical outcomes. Delaying many months while the knee keeps giving way risks meniscus damage.
When can I play sports again after ACL reconstruction?
Return to pivoting sports usually takes 8–12 months and is decided by milestone testing (strength, hop tests, confidence), not by time alone. Returning early is the main cause of re-tear.
