Why Choose Dr. Pradyumna for ACL Surgery in Bangalore?

Anatomic ACL Reconstruction: Unlike traditional methods, we place the graft in the exact natural position to restore full rotational stability.

Minimally Invasive (Keyhole) Surgery: We use tiny 5 mm incisions, meaning minimal scarring, less pain, and a faster discharge from the hospital.

Graft Selection: Personalized options including Hamstring, Patellar Tendon, or Internal Brace (FiberTape) for extra protection.

Integrated Sports Rehab: Every patient receives a customized rehabilitation plan designed around fitness level, sport, and graft choice.

Do You Have a Torn ACL? Don't Ignore the Signs.

Patients often search for symptoms before they search for the surgery name. If you notice any of these signs, early orthopedic evaluation matters.

The Pop: Did you hear a loud snap while playing football or badminton?
Sudden Swelling: Knee swelling within 2 hours is a major indicator of an ACL tear.
Instability: Does your knee feel like it is giving way when you turn?

Our Diagnostic Approach: Beyond the MRI scan, we perform the Lachman Test and Pivot Shift Test at our Bangalore clinic to assess the exact grade of your tear.

If an ACL injury is suspected in a patient, X-rays and MRI scans can be done to rule out any other injuries. A Lachman's test can be done to test the integrity of the ACL. As part of this test, when the knee is bent to a 30° angle, the stability of the knee should remain intact when the tibia moves into place in relation to the femur. The pivot shift test can also be performed to assess ACL integrity. During this test, if the patient has an ACL tear, the tibia will continue moving forward as the knee bends past 30° and it will not shift back into position until after it has straightened up again.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the average cost of ACL surgery in Bangalore?▼

The cost of ACL reconstruction in Bangalore depends on the hospital choice, the type of graft used such as Hamstring or Internal Brace, and the choice of implants. At our clinic, we provide a transparent, all-inclusive breakdown during your first consultation.

2. Is ACL reconstruction covered under insurance or cashless facility?▼

Yes, ACL reconstruction is a medically necessary procedure and is covered by most health insurance providers and TPAs in Bangalore. We offer cashless facilities at partner hospitals and assist with all documentation to ensure a hassle-free experience.

3. Can I walk immediately after ACL surgery?▼

Most patients are encouraged to start assisted walking within 24 hours of the procedure. While you may use crutches for the first 1 to 2 weeks to protect the new graft, you will not be bedridden. You will typically be discharged from the hospital within 24 to 48 hours.

4. Which graft is best for ACL reconstruction: Hamstring or BTB?▼

There is no one-size-fits-all. The Hamstring graft is popular for its minimal scarring and quick recovery, while the Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone graft is often preferred for high-impact professional athletes. Dr. Pradyumna selects the graft based on your age, activity level, and sport.

5. How soon can I return to sports like Cricket or Football?▼

Returning to sports is a milestone-based process. Light jogging usually begins at 3 to 4 months, while agility drills start around 6 months. Most athletes in Bangalore return to competitive sports between 8 to 10 months, provided they pass our rigorous return-to-sports strength tests.

6. Is it possible to treat a partial ACL tear without surgery?▼

Grade 1 or 2 partial tears may be managed non-operatively with specialized physiotherapy and bracing. However, for active individuals, surgery is often recommended to prevent long-term damage like meniscus tears or knee osteoarthritis.

7. What is Internal Bracing in ACL surgery?▼

Internal Bracing involves using a high-strength FiberTape to augment the biological graft. This acts as a secondary seatbelt, protecting the ACL during the critical healing phase in the first 3 months and significantly reducing the risk of a re-tear.

8. Why should I choose Dr. Pradyumna for my ACL surgery in Bangalore?▼

Dr. Pradyumna R. combines over 15 years of experience with advanced all-inside arthroscopic techniques. Our approach focuses on anatomic reconstruction and an integrated sports rehabilitation program, ensuring strong outcomes in South Bangalore.
