ACL reconstruction is an arthroscopic surgery that replaces a torn anterior cruciate ligament with a new tendon graft, restoring stability to a knee that would otherwise buckle during twisting or pivoting movements. It is typically recommended for active patients with a complete ACL tear, especially those who wish to return to sports involving cutting, jumping, or direction changes, or whose knee continues to give way despite physiotherapy. The surgeon drills small tunnels into the thigh and shin bones, passes the chosen graft through them, and fixes it in place — the entire operation usually takes one to two hours. Most patients are discharged the same day or after a single overnight stay, but the recovery programme that follows — structured physiotherapy over nine to twelve months — is the single most important factor in achieving a stable, fully functional knee.
The torn ACL is replaced using tendons harvested from the back of the patient's thigh, folded into a multi-strand graft and fixed through small bone tunnels in the knee.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of the affected knee (if not done recently), X-ray of the knee (AP and lateral views), CBC, Blood sugar and HbA1c, KFT, PT/INR, ECG, Anaesthesia fitness evaluation. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $4,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended
Total stay: approx 10 days
