Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction
longsighted graft is take from the mediate department of the kneepan sinew require a plug of bone from low part of the human knee detonator and piece of pearl from the upper shin . The deflated patella tendon is closed . The tendon heals and regains its strength .
ACL reconstruction surgery is continued with the help of the arthroscopy which allow the inner view of the articulatio genus on a monitor .
A guide pin is passed through the upper tibia which helps to create a tunnel in the proper location in the shin bone . It enters the joint at the spot where the ACL normally attaches to the tibia . The guide stick is over exercise with cannulated drill , allowing it to pass through the tibia tunnel and into the thighbone . It is practise into the bone at the spot where ACL normally attaches to the femur . The pin is over practice to the appropriate deepness . A long guide bowling pin is now eliminate upward through the tibial tunnel across the joint into the femoral burrow and out through the front of the second joint . This scout pin is used to pull the ACL graft through the tibial burrow across the junction and into the femoral tunnel . The knee is to the full flexed . A scout pin is pushed through a small chess opening in front of the knee in to the femoral burrow next to the graft and preventive screw is passed over the pin and make out into the femoral tunnel to secure the upper death of the graft in the femoral burrow . The human knee is now broaden and the graft is pulled tightly . A second interference screw is screwed into the tibial burrow to lock into post the lower end of the graft within the tibial burrow . The screws hold the new ACL in topographic point until the bone plug cure . The stifle is now stable and move can begin instantly . In fact a continuous inactive motion machine is used to slowly move the knee about 23 hours a twenty-four hour period . This other and uninterrupted motion is very important to decrease stifle pain , to promptly regain stifle movement and to avoid problems with the knee detonating equipment .
