What is ACL Surgery?

- The ACL, or Anterior Cruciate Ligament, is one of several ligaments that stabilize your knee. If you've injured or completely torn your ACL, you may experience your knee "giving out" when you need to quickly change direction.
At Children's Hospital Colorado, our orthopedic surgeons and Sports Medicine Team specialize in treating ACL injuries in children, teens and adults; they can offer several options to reconstruct your ACL. We also help guide young athletes through their post-surgery rehab to get them back up to speed. With time and patience, you can recover from your ACL injury and get back to the sports and activities that you love.

It’s crazy how a tear to the knee can change your life
Tore my acl and both meniscus august 10 2020, had surgery May 26 2021 after 9 and a half months of excruciating pain and absolutely no life other than working in a kitchen that only hurt it more. It’s august 18 2021 i made it a quarter into the video and started crying uncontrollably. I’m 24, I hope I can run again. I used to be so fast, so strong and capable. May Allah give me and all of you strength to overcome this battle . I don’t consider my rehab to be rehab, I consider it fighting for my life and fighting to be who I once was
Bro?I cant believe it that u are u hope u can run as fast as you once did I had surgery on april 25th of 2021 and guess what man I fucked it up last Sunday but Alhamdulliah I'm back at gym within a week I was doing jumps and then landing w balance my progress was pretty insane just days ago I raced on of my close friend I've always worked out and trained with as footballer and athlete and I was the same place as him I won the race but he complained about his slippers so..I take that I was literally same place as guy with no knee problem all good when i just had surgery 4 months and 2 weeks ago I have yet to do MRI and see what has happend I really hope that nothing bad has happend cause I can't afford 2nd surgery on my knee
Chill man youre taking it too seriously. You’ll get better. Look at all the NFL athletes that tore it and got back to their level of sport again, yes they are very muscular and healthy which helps but you can be too! I am currently in my recovery process
Salam bro I have also torn my meniscus and acl partially, doctor advised me to get a rehab and if the symptoms persist then you should go for surgery.
Its been 5 weeks since my injury while playing football, right now i can walk on my injured leg but with a limp and some discomfort, i am a little bit scared on putting my injured leg first probably cause of neuro sensors but I hope i get well soon without surgery IA.
Any advice?
@@hamzanaeem3619 bro if its partial take no risks pay extreme caution and let it heal itself cuz u know its never the same after surgery
Best wishes brother
7 years since my acl surgery. My knee never fully recovered to were I was as an athlete. I still run and lift weights but every exercise activity has to be modified in order for me not to push my knee too hard. Remember to strengthen the muscles around the knee and incorporate rehabilitation exercises to assist in knee pain that could arise. Every now and then when I do decide to push my operated knee too hard it swells up and feels weak to were I need to take a 2-3 rest day and then I am good to resume my exercises. I am currently 24 but I do suspect I have developed some sort of arthritis in that knee as I have fluid buildup and can especially feel it when I bend the knee. Also take care of your knee in the cold as per my experience it will hurt or have a ringing feel to it and can even lock up to were you might need to sit down and slowly twist it around for it to have a pop feel to it. Hope this helps someone!
Same problem
@@faicreation bro operation korcen?
Heyyy this is soo sag girls
Soo i shouldn't fo this surgery
I have had surgery on 25th april this year 2021 and it's been 4 months and 4weeks last sunday at gym while doing jumps and balancing on just 1 leg(my right leg which had surgery) on 7th jump I pushed my self I know it and as result I landed badly on my knee and now I have fear I have torn reconstructed ACL again I met my surgeon he Xray seems fine and he did a test said nothing seemed wrong w ACL but prolly w meniscus and I have yet to do MRI and hopefully there is nothing surgical as I fear most cause I'm only 16 and i was a hard worker and chasing my dream to one day play football as professional :(...
I was going so well but I still doubted myself and I think this is why I got into this condition but it's been 1 week since and I'm already back at gym with full range of motion and swelling has gone less but I feel like my knee is moving too freely just as it was before surgery and I dont know when I'll be back at running
For those who are still undecided to go for surgery, my advice is to go for it. I did the surgery back in 2010, 13 years have past, and i've been enjoying every moment of it being able to play football again. Yes, it's never 100% again, perhaps about 80ish %. Well, that's good enough for me.
Bro I suffered shoulder dislocation injury ....I m depressed as fk ,seeing every random injury vedio on CZcams 😭.....I don't I will ever able to do gym and play volleyball
Where are you from? And if you are from India, can you plz suggest me your surgeon/hospital. plz reply
Imagine D. Rose having to go to surgery multiple times and rehabbing. Mad respect for him
I tore my ACL all the way through like what the video just showed,tore my meniscus, and fractured my tibia.Not the best situation at all.And plus my 16th birthday is about to come up in June.A milestone birthday so this is not fun for me. Keep your head up for anyone going through this🌟💫⚡️💪💪💪💪💟☮️🔯❤️💖❣️💜
That sucks. Can you give me an update on how you’re doing and what you have been doing to help it?
This looks worse than I thought I already know the pain is bad but seeing it tear like that
Tore my acl, lcl and biceps femoris. The actual injury was shocking but the pain from the surgery was pretty minimal. I’m walking right now(with a brace on just to protect it) and it’s 4 weeks since surgery. Anyone reading this, take the recovery seriously, change your diet to the best of your ability and just let it heal. It’s not as bad as they say, just boring as shit
I love these videos like this!
Can u please post more and more recently I love the information it gives me
Hi, i just want to say thanks for all of your ACL videos. I did my ACL last year when playing Rugby and got surgery. Your videos helped me a lot.
Hi, did you still recovering from surgery??
Hope you have recovered by now, btw could you get back to your normal strength, in terms of activities after surgery.
Can you play..Even after surgery??
@@anilmallawarachchi9978 to be at par original strength is very rare
Same I just tore my ACL playing rugby last week and need to go through surgery. Can you still play now?
I had mine last year 2022. Normally from 0-3 months when you have the surgery you got to let the leg heal. From 3-6 start working more on your exercises and stretches. From 6 to 9 months you should be able to walk at least, bike and move around. However, you'll be struggling with a lot of weakness on your muscles because you lose all your muscle from the surgery. The hardest part in my case is getting to full knee extension.
Fascinating. Thank you doctors and researchers for this. Hope to bring more awareness to it here in Southern Africa.
Even watching this is causing me pain in my knees .
Ikr
Idk but my knee automaticaly feel and imagine the pain:(
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I tore my ACL about a month ago. Did an MRI and rehab and yesterday a surgeon told me that he will perform this exact surgery on me in about a month.
I am hyped! Sure it is going to suck for at least a year but i have no daubt in my mind that i will be back on the mats.
How are you now?
I hope everything went well and you are recovering fast.
Hello Daniel , how are you now?
Whoever watching this video don't take it lighty because the same thing happened with me and I'm not able to Run Fast and My Hockey career is Finished at 20 😔
Same here though i dont play sports. My knee injury wont heel its been 11 years and i still.bend my knee every now and then.
Sorry to hear! Its really painfull when u can't do what u lov!
Did yiu get ACL surgery?
@@kingeleven3820 did you get ACL surgery?
I've torn my ACL, MCL and LCL twice back in 2016 and 2017... Shit hurt! My first surgery failed so I had to go through all of this again and I still have problems to this day and it's 2020!
I might be able to relate to you but not to full extent I fucked up when I was doing balance jumps on just one leg it's been week n a day I was back at gym within 1 day and I have yet to do MRI and see if something bad has happend I do feel like my knee is moving freelt
@@abbasraza7942 you better go do check with the doctor. If u do have an acl tore but still keep using your leg, it will put more stress to the other three ligament and you might end up tore your remaining ligament
0:43 THAT WAS NASTY
aghhhhhhhhhhh
It’s what happened to me
@@boiboi2550 i had it also, when i drove to the rim, my defender pushed me from the right
You know what's even nastier? I physically heard a "snap" sound when I tore my acl. 😅
ahh! next week im going to take the surgery

It will. Best of Luck!
How it went?
what about your surgery

@@lilyalexandrya254 How was it? I'm supposed to go in again for an ACL repair.
How bad does an injury like this need to be to have surgery. Mine was gout induced, but I can walk normally now and use a push-bike to get around. There is aching only first thing in the morning.
Tomorrow i have an acl surgery..... initially I don't know what they r going to do tmrw. ..but after seeing this video.....I am understanding the process......thank u for uploading this video......they r many patients don't know about their surgeries....I will prefer these videos to them......love u from India 😍🇮🇳

So fare so good.
Hi how was the pain.
Aa 23 pain is manageable. It’s less pain than my injury day when it twisted. :) now almost a month post op.
How are you doing now @gubran
Zubair Alam Doing better and feeling stronger. 😀
@@gubranalmekhlafi3150 do you now feel like nothing happened at all , or you have to be carefull for life time ?
Doctor reccomend me surgery i am affraid like will it be strong like my another knee ? Please reply
will the the tisue taken for the new acl be healed back up or my quadriceps tendon be weeker?
Hi, I had an ACL recon surgery a week ago using quad tendon graft. My surgeon didn't remove the torn ACL while reconstruction. Anyone knows the rationale behind that?
It's been about 5 months since my leg had Acl surgery.My knees are buzzing and that's why.
Does a new ACL that they put in is it even as stable as the one you had before if popped?
just had mine today, pain is crazy, and I’m pretty good at handling pain. and the other thing is that the anesthesia in the area hasn’t completely gone away yet so the pain is gonna get worse
Hi I am doing mine in a couple of months do you have any suggestions
Aa 23 my bad, I should’ve replied earlier. Make sure your legs are strong, you’ll lose muscle mass with all the inactivity after surgery and that probably is something that’s frustrating to me right now. Right now I am about 12 weeks since surgery, and I am walking strong, but here and there I limp. The pain is practically gone, I just get discomfort on the incisions where they did the surgery.
Aa 23 also, make sure and eat healthy before surgery and while you’re recovering
Aa 23 Therapy will be tough in the first month and a half because they’re going to be pushing your leg to get your range of motion back. So like basically flexion and extension. The first month or so, you’ll be in a brace where they are extra careful with how you’re able to more your leg. And during this time, they’re working to get your knee to bend. I’ll be honest, this was the worst. Your leg since it hasn’t bent in a month, the therapist pushing it in is the worst pain i’ve felt. Only recently now I can bend my leg in all the way, but there’s still resistance. Stretching and doing the exercises at home is very important as well. That’s my 2 month update for anyone who’s gonna have the surgery ^👍🏾
Hope you guys are fine now 👍🏻
Do i have to Operate acl for quick or can i operate late....coz i dont have pain ...but my leg twisting sometime often....soo plz answer this question?

I have a fully ACL tear and miniscus tear. I can walk and run normally but can not twist or play football. It has been almost two years. I just have found out like a month ago. What should i do? Should i go for surgery?
Just do it. Surgery, is always better to strengthen your knee.
Nice explained

Surgery
Never opt surgery for partial tear...
It never heals still get injured sometimes if I’m too tough
I like your video very much. It's really great. I'll keep an eye on your channel. I am your fan and I will support you.
How much cost of this surgery
Hi, my son tore his ACL while playing football, he is 15 yrs old, we were leaning towards reconstruction using quadriceps tendon graft but doctors are biased towards hamstring as they have expertise into it. Will you be able to advise on which graft would be best for him? Another concern we have is growth spurt can cause misaligned legs. Looking forward for your inputs on these two concerns we have. Thanks
Hello sugu vai. Thank you for your comment. We are not able to provide medical advice online. You can talk to a pediatric nurse by calling our free ParentSmart Healthline at (720) 777-0123, or contact your doctor.
Every one is different but I had a hamstring graft 11 months ago and I have had not issues or problems with my acl if back to full strength and I am playing footy again

Otherwise you may want to discuss with your doctor or the facility where you intend to have the procedure done.
Excellent
Unfortunately I know that messed up feeling, I was hit by a pick up truck on January 11, 2022...no bone was broken in my left leg, but my ACL / pcl and meniscus were ripped apart basically.. now my right leg...got it the worst...had a couple of open fractures..2 rods and 13 screws...but I feel no pain in my right knee..I just feel a very uncomfortable pain in my left knee.. only a little discomfort in my right leg.. which is where the rods are down in my right leg...I would think there would be more pain and discomfort in my right leg..go figure...but I can say i can walk...but I cant run..or jog... and I'm not paralyzed
i am only 14 years old and i teared my ACL and my miniscus. I am not aloud to do anything and can only by operated in 4 years...

Does acl surgery stunt growth
Once it gon its gon, it will never recover without surgery, it pain will identifes when knee twisted in sudden cross moves
I went through an ACL surgery on 30th June 2018.
For which i was doing exercises till today.
But my leg was not getting the strength which was expected.
Compared to the other leg my operated leg is very thin.
On 19th October 2018, i again met with a small accident and i had a pain in the same knee which was operated.
Swelling was there as well.
I went to the doctor again and told him the whole story.
He asked me for MRI.
I went through MRI & the reports said that i have teared the reconstructed ligament again.
Now doctor is saying that i have to undergo for surgery again.
This is very disturbing and painful for me.
But i have a doubt regarding my injury this time.
Because last time when i teared my ligament (as per doctor) it was very painful and i wasn’t able to walk properly.
But this time i am able to walk at a slow speed. I am doing my regular exercises as well.
Then how it is possible with a complete tear. ???
Please help me out in this situation.
You should get a second opinion from another doctor just to be sure that your first doctor didn't mess something up. Also go through all your exercises with a rehab specialist to be sure that you're doing them right.
How are you doing now?
Same thing happened to me 2 years ago and now I still have a lot of pain and sometimes when it get hurts I can't bend and straight my knee and I can't walk properly
I had same problem. Actually the first ACL torn it was from our birth time and it is coordinated with surrounding supported tissues. Having connecting tissue from birth and so when its torn that bring damage to foundation one. Thats why we had pain.
Reconstruction one is not like the original one, its not get COORDINATE with the surrounding connecting tissues, so when reconstruction one torns it will not affect the surrounding tissues and we not consider that same pain.
Mahipal Shera I had a need reconstruction about 11 months ago and I also tore my miniscus as well and I have recovered well I still get a bit of a sore knee some times but my strength is back to the same as my other knee and I’m running around again if you ask me it is all to do with your rehab if you do all your rehab correctly you should head as good as gold .. how are you now?
It teakes 9 to 12 muonths to recover
Even after surgery??
that's so cool
My ACL tear I don't want operation what how possible Requirey exesize...plz.friend
@MOHAMAD MUAZ whats your experience on acl tear bro?
Om Prakash if it’s a full tear your acl will not heal

Have you done it or not yet ?
I would like to ask you some questions about it.
I have also ACL injury 🤕 since last July 2022. But the pain is very less but when I walked then I feel that bones are collapsed to each other...and sounds produced but no pain during this phenomena.after my exams I am going to surgery of my ACL injury
I am From MULTAN Pakistan and going to operate of my ACL reconstruction era from NISHTER hospital.
I tore my acl and have surgery in a month and I’m SCARED AS HELL
Did had operation on my arm
I am having surgery tomorrow, wish me luck
How are you currently doing?! 😟
My ACL is fully torn but my knee feels super stable and hasn’t given out on me once in my time walking on it. Can this be explained?
Your ACL tissue may have been trapped in between your MCL and the femur causing a false sensation of stability.
Normally walking with acl tear is possible, the sensation of slipping away or non stability comes when you are running and pushing your limits,
You have strong quad muscles and your body have adapted to it. Also you must be below 75kg and must be athletic since childhood.
I have torn ACL since 6 years yet I am able to do all activities albeit the first 18 months during rehab phase.
