Ever tried to sprint, jump, or even just walk down the stairs, only to feel your knee buckle under you? A torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) can turn even the simplest movements into a struggle. But don’t worry—arthroscopic ACL repair can fix that and get you moving again!
And guess what? Vitadell Healthcare is now introducing something even more advanced—NANOSCOPIC SURGERY! This advance technique uses a nano-sized scope, making the procedure even less invasive than keyhole surgery.
Here is more on that.
What’s Arthroscopic ACL Repair, and Why Should You Care?
Think of your ACL as a strong rubber band inside your knee that holds everything in place. If it snaps—ouch!—your knee can feel wobbly and unstable. That’s where arthroscopic surgery comes in.
Instead of cutting open your entire knee, doctors use a tiny camera (arthroscope) and small tools to repair or rebuild the ligament. It’s like fixing a watch with precision tools instead of breaking it apart!
Do You Really Need ACL Surgery?
Not every ACL tear needs surgery. But if your knee feels like a loose hinge every time you move, then it might be time to consider it. Here’s when you should:
- Your knee keeps giving up when you walk, run, or turn.
- You feel sharp pain and swelling that won’t go away.
- You love sports, hiking, or dancing and don’t want to give them up!
If this sounds like you, visiting Vitadell Healthcare, a multi speciality surgical day care hospital in Kolkata is a great first step to recovery.
How Does ACL Surgery Work?
Let’s break it down into simple steps:
- Tiny incisions: Instead of a big cut, doctors make a few small ones—like keyholes!
- Inserting the camera: A tiny arthroscope is used to see inside your knee and assess the damage.
- Repair or reconstruction: If possible, the torn ligament is repaired. If it’s beyond repair, doctors replace it using a graft for the same.
- Fixation: The new ligament is attached and secured using screws or special devices.
- Closing Up: Since the cuts are small, only a few stitches or surgical tape is needed!
This takes about 1 to 2 hours, and you can go home the same day!
Introducing NANOSCOPIC SURGERY: The Future is Here!
Now, here’s the exciting part! Vitadell Healthcare is introducing a revolutionary new technique—NANOSCOPIC SURGERY.
Imagine your arthroscopic surgery going from a keyhole size to the size of a needle! Instead of traditional arthroscopy, this method uses a nano-sized camera and ultra-fine instruments, making it even LESS invasive.
Why is this a game-changer?
- Almost NO scars – The incision is smaller than a pinhole.
- Faster healing – Less damage means quicker recovery.
- Minimal pain – Because the procedure is so gentle!
If traditional arthroscopic surgery was like using a keyhole to fix a watch, nanoscopy is like using a fiber-optic thread to do the same job—without even making a visible hole!
What’s Recovery Like?
Let’s be honest—no surgery means an instant fix. But the great thing about these advanced techniques is that they speed up recovery.
Here’s what to expect:
- Week 1: Rest, ice, and light movements to prevent stiffness.
- Weeks 2-6: Physiotherapy starts to strengthen the knee.
- 3-6 Months: Gradual return to normal activities.
- 6-9 Months: You’re back on the field, gym, or dance floor!
With nanoscopy, healing might be even FASTER, making it the best option for people who want the least downtime.
