Arthroscopic surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament, by repair or reconstruction depending on the tear.
ACL Tear Treatment
The anterior cruciate ligament runs through the center of the knee and prevents the shin bone from sliding forward on the thigh bone. It is what holds the knee steady when you turn, pivot or land. Most tears happen without contact, in a change of direction, a landing or a knee that buckles inward, and many people describe a pop and immediate swelling. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, offers both repair and reconstruction, performed arthroscopically.
The Rehabilitation Protocols
Ask About a ConsultationThese are the physical therapy protocols the practice gives its own patients after this operation. They are written for the period after surgery, for you and for your therapist, and your own plan is set by Dr. Abbasi at your follow-up.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
How long until I am back to sport?
Return to turning and pivoting sport usually takes six to twelve months. Return to sport is the goal of the rehabilitation, and the timeline is set by how the knee recovers rather than by the calendar.
Is Physical Therapy essential?
Yes. Rehabilitation progresses in stages based on healing, strength, range of motion, and the demands of the activity you want to return to.
Will the graft come from me or from a donor?
Either is possible, and it is decided with you beforehand. Your own tissue avoids donor material; a donor graft avoids a second incision on your own knee.
Do I have to have the operation straight away?
Rarely. The knee usually needs to settle and regain its movement before surgery, and that time is often used for Physical Therapy.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
