ACL, PCL & Multi-Ligament Reconstruction in Ahmedabad

The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) are the main ligaments that keep your knee stable. A tear most commonly from a twist during cricket, football, badminton, running or a fall causes instability, giving-way and swelling of the knee. At Mitra Hospital in Ahmedabad, our sports medicine surgeons perform arthroscopic ACL, PCL and multi-ligament reconstruction to restore knee stability and enable return to full activity and sport.

What is Anxiety & Stress Therapy?

Anxiety and stress are among the most common mental health challenges faced by people today.

At Azura, our Anxiety & Stress Therapy program is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to help you identify the root causes of your anxiety, understand how it manifests in your body and mind, and develop a personalized toolkit of strategies to manage and overcome it for good.

When Does an ACL / PCL Tear Need Surgery?

Complete ACL tear in young or active patients
Recurrent knee instability or giving-way
Combined ligament injuries (ACL + MCL, ACL + meniscus)
Athletes wanting to return to pivoting sports
Failed conservative rehabilitation with persistent instability
Multi-ligament knee injuries after high-energy trauma

Surgery & Rehabilitation

ACL and PCL reconstruction is performed arthroscopically using either your own tendon (autograft hamstring, patellar or quadriceps) or, in selected cases, a donor tendon (allograft). The graft replaces the torn ligament and, over months, remodels into a functional new ligament. Rehabilitation is structured and progressive: initial protection and range of motion in weeks 1–6, strengthening in weeks 6–16, sport-specific training in months 4–6, and return to competitive pivoting sport around 9 months, based on your surgeon’s clearance.

Can I live with a torn ACL without surgery?

Some patients usually older, low-demand individuals not participating in pivoting sports can manage a torn ACL with focused rehabilitation and activity modification. However, active patients, athletes and those with recurrent instability generally need reconstruction to safely return to sport and to protect the meniscus and cartilage from further damage.

Which graft is used for ACL reconstruction?

The most common graft choices are hamstring tendon, patellar tendon (bone-patellar-tendon-bone), quadriceps tendon and, in selected cases, allograft (donor tendon). The choice depends on your age, activity level, sport, previous surgery and your surgeon's assessment.

When can I return to cricket / football after ACL surgery?

Return to competitive pivoting sport (cricket bowling and fielding, football, kabaddi, basketball) typically happens around 9 months after ACL reconstruction, and only after your surgeon confirms adequate strength, stability and sport-specific readiness. Return too early significantly increases the risk of re-injury.
