🦵 Ligament Reconstruction Surgery: Regain Stability with Expert Care by Dr. Anupam Das
Ligament injuries can be painful, limiting, and sometimes life-altering—especially for athletes and active individuals. When ligaments like the ACL, PCL, or UCL are severely torn, surgical reconstruction becomes essential to restore joint stability, prevent long-term damage, and help patients return to their normal lives.
Dr. Anupam Das, one of the leading orthopedic surgeons in Kolkata, specializes in ligament reconstruction surgeries using advanced, minimally invasive techniques to ensure faster recovery and long-term relief.
🔍 What is a Ligament Reconstruction Surgery?
Ligaments are strong, fibrous tissues that connect bones and stabilize joints. When a ligament is completely torn due to trauma or sports injury, it often needs to be surgically reconstructed. During the procedure, the damaged ligament is replaced with a graft, either from the patient’s own body (autograft) or a donor (allograft).
This surgery is commonly performed arthroscopically (keyhole surgery), allowing for reduced post-op pain and faster recovery.
🏥 Common Ligaments Reconstructed
- ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) – most common in knee injuries
- PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament)
- MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament)
- UCL (Ulnar Collateral Ligament) – often injured in throwing athletes
- Ankle Ligaments – for chronic ankle instability
⚠️ When Is Surgery Required?
Dr. Anupam Das recommends ligament reconstruction when:
- You’ve had a complete ligament tear
- The joint remains unstable despite physiotherapy
- You experience recurrent dislocations or pain
- You want to return to sports or active lifestyle
- MRI confirms severe or multiple ligament damage
