The new ACL is harvested from the patellar tendon that connects the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Your surgeon will make two small cuts about ¼ inch around your knee. An arthroscope, a tube with a small video camera on the end is inserted through one incision to see the inside of the knee joint. Along with the arthroscope, a sterile solution is pumped into the knee to expand it, providing your surgeon with a clear view of the inside of the joint.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The torn ACL will be removed and the pathway for the new ACL is prepared. Your surgeon makes an incision over the patellar tendon and removes the middle third of the patellar tendon, along with small plugs of bone where it is attached on each end. The remaining portions of the patellar tendon on either side of the graft are sutured back after its removal. Then the incision is closed.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The arthroscope is reinserted into the knee joint through one of the small incisions. Small holes are drilled into the upper and lower leg bones (tibia and femur) where these bones come together at the knee joint. The holes form tunnels in your bone to accept the new graft. The graft is then pulled through these holes. The new tendon is then fixed into the bone with screws to hold it in place while the ligament heals into the bone.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The incisions are then closed with sutures and a dressing is placed.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Postoperative Care following ACL Reconstruction Patellar Tendon</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Following the surgery, rehabilitation begins immediately.

Avoid competitive sports for 5 to 6 months to allow the new graft to get incorporated into the knee joint.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a very common and successful procedure. It is usually indicated in patients who desire to return to an active lifestyle, especially into sports that involve running and twisting.

During this operation, small cuts are made in the skin and metal pins are inserted through the bones. The pins project out of the skin and are attached to carbon fiber bars outside the skin. The external fixator functions as a frame and aids in holding the elbow in a proper position until a second operation can be performed. It gives damaged skin ample time to heal before surgery to fix the fracture and may decrease the risk of infection.</li><li><strong>Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF):</strong>&nbsp;This is the procedure most commonly used to treat elbow fractures. During this operation, bone segments are first repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment and then held in place with screws and plates attached to the outside of the bone. Depending on the fracture, your surgeon may have certain considerations during the repair, including:<ul><li><strong>Ulnar nerve placement:</strong>&nbsp;During the procedure, your surgeon will move the ulnar nerve slightly from its position to make room and to prevent it from being injured during surgery. The nerve is put back into its position at the end of the procedure.</li><li><strong>Bone grafting:</strong>&nbsp;If fractured bone has been crushed or lost through the wound, the fracture may require bone grafting to fill the empty bone space. Bone graft may be obtained from a donor (allograft) or from another bone in your own body (autograft) or an artificial material in some cases.</li><li><strong>Osteotomy:</strong>&nbsp;In some cases, the surgeon may incise the tip of the elbow (olecranon) to better visualize the bone segments. The incised bone is shifted out of the way during repair of the fracture. After the fracture is secured, the incised olecranon is placed back into its original position and repaired with plates and screws or pins and wire.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Total elbow replacement (arthroplasty):</strong>&nbsp;In cases of severe fractures, the humerus is so badly damaged that it cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced with a metal and plastic implant. During an elbow replacement, after the fragments of bone are removed, an implant is attached to the humerus. Another implant is attached to the ulna (forearm bone), and the two implants are linked to form a hinge.</li><li><strong>Arthrodesis (fusion):</strong>&nbsp;In a more active and a younger individual, a severely injured humerus in some cases may be treated with arthrodesis rather than a total elbow replacement. During arthrodesis, your surgeon will apply plates and screws to make the olecranon and humerus grow together or fuse as one bone. Although, the patient will lose the ability to bend the elbow post fusion, but will retain the ability to rotate the hand and regain a strong elbow joint.</li></ul>\n<!-- /wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Postoperative Care</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>You may have some pain post procedure and pain medication will be prescribed to keep you comfortable. After surgery, your arm will be placed in a cast or a splint for support and protection. You will need to keep your arm immobile for several weeks with the aid of a sling to allow bone healing. Your doctor will provide instructions on dressings and incision care as well as arm care like application of ice for comfort.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Physical therapy is suggested to prevent arm stiffness, strengthen muscles, and restore range of motion.

The nerve is put back into its position at the end of the procedure.</li><li><strong>Bone grafting:</strong>&nbsp;If fractured bone has been crushed or lost through the wound, the fracture may require bone grafting to fill the empty bone space. Bone graft may be obtained from a donor (allograft) or from another bone in your own body (autograft) or an artificial material in some cases.</li><li><strong>Osteotomy:</strong>&nbsp;In some cases, the surgeon may incise the tip of the elbow (olecranon) to better visualize the bone segments. The incised bone is shifted out of the way during repair of the fracture. After the fracture is secured, the incised olecranon is placed back into its original position and repaired with plates and screws or pins and wire.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Total elbow replacement (arthroplasty):</strong>&nbsp;In cases of severe fractures, the humerus is so badly damaged that it cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced with a metal and plastic implant. During an elbow replacement, after the fragments of bone are removed, an implant is attached to the humerus. Another implant is attached to the ulna (forearm bone), and the two implants are linked to form a hinge.</li><li><strong>Arthrodesis (fusion):</strong>&nbsp;In a more active and a younger individual, a severely injured humerus in some cases may be treated with arthrodesis rather than a total elbow replacement. During arthrodesis, your surgeon will apply plates and screws to make the olecranon and humerus grow together or fuse as one bone. Although, the patient will lose the ability to bend the elbow post fusion, but will retain the ability to rotate the hand and regain a strong elbow joint.</li></ul>\n<!-- /wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Postoperative Care</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>You may have some pain post procedure and pain medication will be prescribed to keep you comfortable.

The lower end of the humerus has bony bumps called epicondyles that serve as sites of attachment for major tendons and muscles that help in arm movement. The bump on the inside of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle.
