Swapnil’s Journey to Recovery

Let’s understand Swapnil’s experience with ACL reconstruction in India. Swapnil is an IT professional working in Mumbai, Maharastra, India.

He was a 29 years old bachelor, four years ago, and was living with friends in a flat. He used to go to the office on his newly purchased bike along with one of his friends Manish. 

Swapnil was a jolly guy and loved to visit new places whenever he used to get time. He also used to go for tracking, every weekend. Like any other bachelor’s in Mumbai, he never missed an opportunity to go to a party with his friends.  

One regular day, while he was going back home from the office he met with an accident. A car driver lost control of the vehicle while reversing his car from parking.  Suddenly the car came on mid-road. Swapnil and his friend were on the same road. The car hit the moving bike pretty badly. 

Swapnil and his friend fell down on the road. Due to a sudden fall, both of them were injured severely. Knee was the first body part to hit the road and both of them got bruises on their knees.  The cut of Swapnil was so deep that even bone was visible. 

Nearby people rushed to help and helped Swapnil and Manish to stand and supported them to sit in the car. The driver of the car was courteous enough to take them to the hospital. On the way to the hospital,  Swapnil’s knee got swollen.

The doctor and nurse cleaned the wound and while cleaning the doctor could see some plastic parts and a small road stone in the knee. After cleaning the wound thoroughly, the doctor used switchers to close the wound. There were 16 stitches on Swapnil’s knee and 8 stitches on Manish’s knee.

In the meantime, an orthopedic doctor came and recommended the XRay to check the fracture. No fracture or dislocation is found in the Xrays report.

Looking at the swelling, the doctor suggested an MRI scan to check the ligament and condition of the knee. 

In MRI, an ACL tear was clearly detected in Swapnil’s report. 

The doctor described the condition of the knee and recommended surgery to fix the ACL. 

Swapnil’s friend who was working in MedicoExperts got to know about this and he connected Swapnil with the best orthopedic surgeon in Mumbai. Swapnil was worried about his injuries and their impact. Even he started thinking about whether he would be able to walk normally. What will the recovery time be and will there be a big scar from the surgery on his knees? 

After having the video consultation with the doctor and seeing all the reports, the doctor explained the procedure to Swapnil and addressed his concerns with respect to the long-term repercussions of the injury. 

Swapnil got fully satisfied and went for the arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Surgery was conducted in less than an hour with the hairline cut. 

Swapnil was discharged from the hospital in a few hours when he recovered from anesthesia. 

After discharge, the doctor advised Swapnil to change the dressing twice a week, put ice packs daily, knee elevation while sleeping, and the amount of load to give on feet. The doctor also recommended physiotherapy once the wound of the surgery is healed up.

With perfect surgery and nice care, Swapnil was able to walk with any support within a fortnight.

Let’s understand what is ACL tear is. 

The knee is a hinge joint with four ligaments that hold it together. A ligament is a structure in the knee that helps to control joint movement or motion by holding the bones together. There is a ligament on each side of the knee (the collateral ligaments) and two ligaments deep inside the knee.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are two ligaments inside the knee that “cross” each other (PCL). Both ligaments attach to the top of the shinbone on one side and the end of the thighbone (femur) on the other (tibia).

One of the most important ligaments that helps stabilize your knee joint is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL is a ligament that connects your thighbone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia).

A tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) — one of the strong bands of tissue that connects your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia) — is known as an ACL injury.

ACL injuries often occur during high-impact sports or activities involving sudden stops, jumps, or direction changes. Common causes include:

• Sudden pivots or twists during sports.
• Direct impact during contact sports like football or basketball.
• Missteps or accidental falls.

It’s possible that your knee will swell, become unstable, and become too painful to bear weight on.

The following are common signs and symptoms of an ACL injury:
