Christmas Operating Hours 
Medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair a damaged or torn MCL. The MCL is a band of tissue on the inside of your knee joint that helps to stabilise the knee and prevent it from bending too far inward.
During MCL reconstruction surgery, the damaged ligament is replaced with a graft, which can be taken from your own body (autograft) or from a donor (allograft). The graft is secured to the thighbone (femur) and the shinbone (tibia) using screws or other devices to hold it in place and the surgery is typically done under general anaesthesia.
After the surgery, you may need to wear a knee brace for several weeks to protect the reconstructed ligament while it heals. Physiotherapy 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 procedure.
