To stabilise the joint, a new ligament has to be reconstructed using a graft using one of the following materials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patellar tendon graft<\/li>\n<li>Hamstring graft<\/li>\n<li>Synthetic graft<\/li>\n<li>Allograft<\/li>\n<li>Quadriceps tendon graft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A tunnel is drilled first through the shin bone and then through the thigh bone. An appropriate sized graft is passed through the tunnels and fixed very securely in each bone, using either large screws or other appropriate fixing devices. When tendon tissue is first harvested for a graft, it loses its blood supply. As a result its strength deteriorates until a new blood supply is established in it. When the graft tissue is inserted into the knee, the healing process starts and gradually new blood vessels grow into it. New cells migrate into the tissue and begin to repair and re-model the graft.<\/p>\n<p>Patient physical activity is restricted, particularly for the first six weeks. After that, the activity may be gradually increased. It is usually nine to 12 months before unrestricted activities are permitted.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Prakash\u2019s approach: I perform this surgery using the arthroscope via keyhole surgery, enabling me to make sure that any other injuries to the joint are assessed and treated. It also helps me optimise the position of the graft. I prefer to use the patellar tendon graft as it has stood the test of time. It is also the preferred graft material for professional athletes and sports persons. I have performed this routinely in soldiers who have been able to achieve the highest level of fitness to be able to be deployed to war zones. I therefore chose to use this graft in not only high performance individuals, including sportsmen, but all my patients. However, I also use the hamstring tendons as graft in low demand patients, and place the graft in anatomical position. My patients go home on the day after surgery, once pain control has been achieved.<\/p>\n<p>*with crutches<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;color:#0075c4;\"><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\"  style='background-color: #282828;background-position: left top;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:100px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:90px;padding-left:0px;'><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row \"><div  class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion_builder_column_1_1 fusion-builder-column-10 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height 1_1\"  style='margin-top:2%;margin-bottom:0px;'><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;\"   data-bg-url=\"\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-center\" style=\"margin:0;\">Request an appointment<\/h3><\/div><div role=\"form\" class=\"wpcf7\" id=\"wpcf7-f3145-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/kneeclinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3229#wpcf7-f3145-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"3145\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"5.1.9\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f3145-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-name\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Name\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-email\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Email\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap enquiry\"><textarea name=\"enquiry\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"A brief description of your enquiry\"><\/textarea><\/span><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit\" \/> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-alert alert custom alert-custom fusion-alert-center wpcf7-response-output wpcf7-display-none fusion-alert-capitalize alert-dismissable\" style=\"border-width:1px;\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"close toggle-alert\" data-dismiss=\"alert\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&times;<\/button><div class=\"fusion-alert-content-wrapper\"><span class=\"fusion-alert-content\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/form><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3229","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.2 -
