What is ACL Reconstruction?
ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) - one of the main ligaments that stabilise the knee. It is commonly needed after sports injuries, road accidents or sudden twisting movements that leave the knee painful, swollen or unstable.
At Vasavi Hospitals, our orthopaedic surgeons perform Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction - a minimally invasive keyhole procedure where the torn ligament is replaced with a tendon graft through tiny incisions, for faster healing, minimal scarring and a stronger, stable knee.
Watch out for these signs
Why Ignoring an ACL Tear Is Risky
An ACL tear won't rupture overnight like an appendix - but every "giving way" episode quietly damages the rest of the knee. Here's what tends to happen when instability is left untreated.
Meniscus Tears
An unstable knee shifts abnormally with every twist - and the meniscus (the knee's shock absorber) often pays the price, tearing in later giving-way episodes.
Cartilage Damage & Early Arthritis
Long-standing instability grinds down joint cartilage, and untreated ACL injuries are strongly linked to early-onset knee osteoarthritis.
Chronic Instability
The knee buckles on stairs, slopes and uneven ground - turning everyday movements into fall risks and forcing you to give up sports you love.
Muscle Weakness & Harder Rehab
The longer the knee is guarded and underused, the more the thigh muscles waste - making eventual surgery and rehabilitation slower and tougher.
A single evaluation with an MRI can tell you clearly how stable your knee is and what to do next.

Recognizing an ACL Tear
From the classic sports injury to signs that something more is going on - here's what to watch for.
The Pivot Injury
A sudden twist, landing, or direction change during sports - followed by a "pop" sound, pain deep in the knee, and swelling within a few hours. The classic way an ACL tears.
Common Symptoms
Knee instability or a "giving way" feeling, swelling and stiffness, difficulty bearing weight, discomfort while pivoting or climbing stairs, and reduced range of motion.
When It May Be More Than the ACL
A knee that locks and will not straighten, severe swelling within an hour, or a knee that buckles on every step can signal meniscus or multi-ligament injury alongside the ACL.

Meet our orthopaedic team for a detailed knee examination and imaging (MRI / X-ray). We explain the extent of ligament damage, your treatment options, cost and the full recovery plan before anything is decided.
The procedure is done under spinal or general anaesthesia using arthroscopic (keyhole) techniques. The torn ACL is reconstructed with a tendon graft, positioned precisely for stability. It usually takes 1-2 hours.
You'll stay in hospital for 1-2 days. Our physiotherapists start gentle knee movement almost immediately to prevent stiffness, and you'll go home with a clear week-by-week rehab plan.
Most patients walk with support within days and return to desk work in 1-2 weeks. Jogging typically resumes around 3 months, and return to pivoting sports takes 6-9 months - guided by physiotherapy strength milestones.

Everything you need to know about ACL reconstruction surgery in Bangalore - answered by our specialists.
A fully torn ACL does not grow back together on its own - it has a poor blood supply. Some partial tears and low-demand patients do well with structured physiotherapy alone. But if your knee keeps giving way, every episode risks new damage to the meniscus and cartilage, which is why active people and athletes are usually advised reconstruction. An MRI and a proper orthopaedic evaluation will tell you which group you fall into.
Vasavi Hospitals in Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore performs arthroscopic (keyhole) ACL reconstruction with an experienced orthopaedic and sports-injury team, advanced arthroscopy equipment, and an in-house physiotherapy and rehabilitation unit - the part of ACL recovery most patients underestimate. It is a trusted choice for knee ligament surgery in South Bangalore.
The cost of ACL reconstruction varies with the graft type, whether additional injuries (like a meniscus tear) need repair in the same sitting, and your insurance coverage. At Vasavi Hospitals, we provide a free, personalised cost estimation so there are no surprises. Fill in the form above or call us for a transparent quote.
Yes. ACL reconstruction is covered under most health insurance plans when it is medically indicated after an injury, including corporate group insurance and many government schemes. Our dedicated insurance team checks your eligibility upfront and handles the entire cashless approval process for you.
The arthroscopic procedure itself usually takes about 1-2 hours under spinal or general anaesthesia. Most patients stay in hospital for 1-2 days, and physiotherapy begins almost immediately - gentle knee movement starts before you go home.
The torn ligament is replaced with a graft - most commonly your own hamstring or patellar tendon (autograft), and in select cases donor tissue (allograft). Each option has trade-offs in strength, recovery and donor-site comfort. Your surgeon will recommend the right graft based on your age, activity level and sport.
Most patients walk with support within a few days of surgery and return to desk work in 1-2 weeks. Jogging typically resumes around 3 months. Return to pivoting sports like football, basketball or badminton usually takes 6-9 months, guided by physiotherapy strength milestones rather than the calendar alone.
An ACL tear is not an overnight emergency - but it should not be ignored either. Every "giving way" episode can tear the meniscus or damage cartilage, and long-standing instability is linked to early knee arthritis. If you are active and your knee is unstable, earlier reconstruction protects the rest of the joint and makes rehabilitation easier.
