Sky Beta Health: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery Service

Sky Beta Health, we offer professional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery services to provide permanent and effective solutions for knee joint issues. ACL surgery is a treatment method used to restore knee joint stability and support functional recovery. Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable and safe treatment experience, ensuring a rapid and effective recovery.

Our Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgery Process

  1. Consultation and Evaluation: The ACL surgery process begins with a comprehensive evaluation conducted by our expert orthopedic specialists. We assess the condition of your knee joint, the severity of the injury, your symptoms, overall health status, and treatment expectations to create a personalized treatment plan. During this stage, your knee joint will be thoroughly examined using X-rays, MRIs, and other imaging methods.

  2. Surgical Planning: After the evaluation, the most suitable surgical plan for you is developed. ACL surgery is typically performed using arthroscopic techniques and involves reconstructing the damaged ligament. The surgical planning is customized according to the patient’s needs and condition.

  3. Surgical Intervention: ACL surgery is usually carried out under general or spinal anesthesia. Our skilled surgeons make small incisions using arthroscopic methods to access the knee joint and reconstruct the damaged ligament. Typically, a graft from the patient’s own tissues (such as hamstring tendons or patellar tendon) or a cadaveric graft is used to create a new ligament. The surgery generally lasts between 1 to 2 hours.

  4. Recovery and Follow-Up: The recovery process begins in the hospital and involves regular monitoring of the patient. During the recovery period, we provide recommendations on physical therapy, exercise programs, and lifestyle changes. Mild discomfort and swelling may occur in the first few weeks. Regular check-ups monitor the recovery process and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
