Watch The Best Fix For Torn ACL 👀 #shorts

ACL reconstruction using graft tissue basics - your surgeon will:
✅ Inspect what remains of your injured ACL to see where and how it attaches to your thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia)
✅ Your thigh- and shinbones are marked for attachment of the graft to repair your #ACL
✅ Drill holes, or tunnels, in the marked areas in the matching size — often your femur first and then your tibia
✅ Fastening suture is attached to the tunnel on the tibia and then the femur for pulling the new ACL through
✅ Affix the new ACL to your thighbone and hold it in place with a fastening device
✅ Hold the other end of the graft and bend and straighten the knee repeatedly - the graft tissue tends to stretch out at first, these motions help remove that initial bit of give
✅ Pull the graft tight and attach it to the shinbone with a fastening device while bending your knee at about 20 degrees. This position is where your ACL is naturally most taught.
✅ Look at your knee through the arthroscope to make sure your new ACL has good tension, and all looks as it should.
Depending on your case, you may have other damage in your knee. Your surgeon will make any other necessary repairs before finishing surgery and closing your incisions. #acl #kneeinjury

I had a cadavar ACL 3 years ago and a torn lateral meniscus. The worst recovery process. A full year of physical therapy and a few months ago i finally was able to bend without pain. Took forever but I feel my Dr did amazing. It was damaged severely and I was lucky.

Having shadowed this surgery a bunch of times, this is exactly what I witnessed. I also noticed that it’s extremely physically aggressive where they’re really pulling on the leg and flexing it. The physical demands of orthopods is probably part of the reason why they tend to retire earlier. I was also surprised that they can use foreign cadaver tissue from a completely separate body part without issue. Apparently, over time, all the cadaver tissue gets replaced by your own native tissue. They also tend to cut a chunk out of the patellar tendon to replace the ACL yet the patellar tendon has almost no long term consequences despite having a large chunk cut out of it.

Pretty fascinating stuff.

My knee physically hurts watching this video

Feel so damn blessed to live in a world where doctors can do this. Can't imagine tearing it back in the day

27 years of life and I’m yet to touch an operating table and I pray it stays that way for a long time

Had ACL surgery October of 2021. After about 8 months of physical therapy I was doing everything that I was doing prior to the tear . Really makes me appreciate that this technology exists and that I had a phenomenal doctor

I only had minor surgery once, this stuff gives me the shivers, thank God I'm healthy, and thanks to everyone in history contributing to medicine.. This is insane how advanced we got

I had my ACL surgery with a spinal anesthesia where i agreed to a "half body numbing". Basically my lower half of my body felt like it was gone but the upper half is very much awake and conscious. They do put a small screen at my waist area to block my view, but i remember hearing all the tools that they use, i remember seeing my own tendon that they pulled out to replace the broken ACL, and how they really REALLY shake, pull, tug, bend my leg to test it. It has been 7 years since the surgery and now my knee starts to make sounds when im standing up from a squat and it feels (gritty) whenever I bend the knee, feels kinda like a gear joint that needs some grease. Take care of your knees guys, the "POP" sound when it snaps is something you'll remember for the rest of your life.

The recovery process for me got me to 90% in about 9 months after surgery. It’s been 2 years and 3 months since the surgery and I still am working to get back to 100%.

I had both knees done, this is no joke. Hard long recovery, and still never the same

[tmunit]

I had this done when I was 15. Worst surgery pain and recovery time I’ve ever had, 9 months of intense physio. They took the inner section of my hamstring for the replacement tissue. Took about a month before I could bare weight and walk without crutches

Thumbs up for concise explanation and great graphics.

I keep seeing videos like this and god I hope my bones and joints never need surgery.

I had this surgery earlier this year (03/23) i was injured (07/22) its been a long time and I still have several months of recovery. Im appreciative, and ready to move past it.

[brettgerber]

I had my ACL replaced January of 2000 when I was a senior in high school. They took my ligament from the center ligament of my patella ligament. They also repaired my meniscus. I was back racing motocross in April and wrestled on a scholarship that fall in college.

Shout-out to all the doctor's. I started trembling watching this.

[brylanmiller]

I’m 15 years old and I had an acl surgery about 6 months ago. They took cartilage out of my shin to replace where my acl was. I suffered an acl lateral meniscus lateral collateral and mcl tear.

[chazzswanson]

I had shivers looking at this. I just hope I never have to experience this in my life. And good luck to the people who had this done in recovery

[mrkwimmer]

I had this done 1.5 years after tearing my ACL. Had my hamstring for the graft.

I went home. Crutches for 2 months. Then stuck to my cane.

And now have only used the cane twice in the last 3 months while walking on trails.

Im 6 months past OP and trying to jog longer than 2 minutes at a time while I go for a walk.

I know that my recovery has been fast. It's not pain free. Physio is helping with the muscle stimulation but it also causes muscle pain.

To anyone saying why take a cadaver graft over your own, i would have done what ever was needed to stop the pain, to be able to walk normal, to be able to be myself.

I folded my meniscus after the ACL tear, they removed the "burs" sticking up on that.

I'm just happy I'm able to chase my 3 year old now, as I've been unable to do that since he started walking
