Ligament Reconstruction

Dr. Gaggan Chadha specialises in ligament reconstruction surgery to restore joint stability and function after severe injuries. His expertise ensures precise surgical repair and effective rehabilitation.

What Is Ligament Reconstruction?

Ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn ligament with a graft, restoring stability and strength to the joint. It is commonly performed on the knee or shoulder following injuries that compromise joint function.

Procedure

The surgery involves removing the damaged ligament and replacing it with a graft, either from the patient’s own tissue or a donor. The ligament is securely fixed, and the joint is stabilised. Post-surgery rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and full range of motion.

Why It Happens

Ligament injuries occur when a joint is subjected to sudden twists, extreme forces, or high-impact activities. Over time, weakened or partially torn ligaments can lead to joint instability, limiting movement and increasing the risk of further injury. Surgical reconstruction ensures long-term stability and improved function.
