Christmas Operating Hours 
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair a torn or damaged LCL. The LCL is a band of tissue on the outer side of the knee joint that helps to stabilise the knee and prevent it from bending too far to the side.
During LCL reconstruction surgery, the damaged ligament is replaced with a graft, which can be taken from the patient’s own body (autograft) or from a donor (allograft). The graft is secured to the thighbone (femur) and the lower leg bone (fibula) using screws or other devices to hold it in place. The surgery is typically done under general anaesthesia.
After the surgery, the patient may need to wear a knee brace for several weeks to protect the reconstructed ligament while it heals. Physical therapy is also an important part of the recovery process, as it helps to improve strength, range of motion, and stability in the knee joint. The length of recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the injury and the specific procedures performed during the surgery, but most patients are able to return to normal activities within several months after the surgery.
It is important to follow Dr Singhs rehabilitation program carefully to ensure the best possible outcome from the surgery.
