Imagine the pain and the shock a biker had to go through with knees that kept slipping off after an accident she met with.\u00a0Bhagyashree<\/strong>, a 27-year-old part-time professional bike racer, almost gave up her hope of getting back into racing when she injured her knees on meeting with an accident. \u201cI could feel something was wrong with my knees immediately after the accident. As I tried climbing up the stairs my knee kept slipping off. In addition to the excruciating pain I was going through, I was really scared and tensed about whether I would be able to race again<\/em>,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Bhagyashree and her family went through a sleepless night till she visited the\u00a0Apollo Hospitals<\/strong>\u00a0Bannerghatta the next day and consulted\u00a0Dr. Raviraj Nayak, Senior consultant and Orthopedic Surgeon<\/strong>. Dr. Raviraj examined the biker\u2019s knee and suggested a ligament reconstruction surgery for her as she had torn her ligament during the accident.<\/p>\n

Apollo doctor works magic on the passionate biker<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Bhagyashree\u201cI was very scared as I thought this surgery would hinder my racing career. However, Dr. Raviraj and team at Apollo Hospital did magic and I got completely fit and fine the next day of the surgery<\/em>,\u201d she says. The expertise of Apollo doctors and the state-of-the-art infrastructure at the hospital enabled Bhagyashree to start walking from the next day following the surgery using knee support for four weeks.<\/p>\n

For the next three months Bhagyashree was instructed to not run, jump and exercise and with the appropriate physiotherapy at the Apollo Hospital, she is back to normal life. At present, she is running, doing her workouts and back to racing without any constraints.\u00a0While she had lost all hopes of getting back to bike racing, her passion, she has now plunged into racing once again.<\/p>\n

Minimally Invasive Arthroscopic Technique<\/strong><\/p>\n

The treatment on Bhagyashree was conducted using a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique. The procedure is\u00a0medically known as arthroscopic anatomical Anterior Cruciate Ligament\u00a0(ACL) reconstruction. The procedure is performed to reconstruct the torn ligament using a hamstring tendon graft that is harvested from the knee.<\/p>\n

Explaining how the procedure helped in the biker\u2019s speedy recovery,\u00a0Dr. Raviraj Nayak,\u00a0Senior Consultant and Orthopedic Surgeon<\/strong>\u00a0and Bhagyashree\u2019s treating doctor, says,\u00a0\u201cHere we had a young lady biker who was very passionate about pursuing her dream of biking and racing. She required knee surgery and aggressive\u00a0rehabilitation to get her back into her sporting career. Her positive approach and her commitment towards following the post-surgical protocol helped us to do her treatment appropriately and brought her speedy recovery<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

According to doctors, this arthroscopic\u00a0anatomical Anterior Cruciate Ligament\u00a0(ACL) reconstruction\u00a0is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal cuts on the skin, least blood loss and early aggressive rehabilitation. It is best opted for hassle-free and a speed\u00a0recovery with an accurate outcome. There are several other benefits of this minimally invasive procedure. It lowers the risk for post-operative infections due to the abundant intraoperative lavage, clears sight of the inner components of the joint. It produces minimal size of the wound and reduces post-operative pain. Additionally, it leads to reduced\u00a0hospitalisation\u00a0costs and results in faster rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

The recovery obtained is as fast as within 24 hours of the procedure or immediately after the removal of the damaged tube. Following the surgery, the knee obtains perfect mobility within a very short span of time and active\u00a0mobilisation\u00a0of the patient is early. The best part of this surgery is that patients undergoing this procedure once do not need revision surgery.<\/p>\n

The clinical outcome of Arthroscopic\u00a0anatomical Anterior Cruciate Ligament\u00a0(ACL) reconstruction depends on several factors. A good, well equipped\u00a0orthopaedic\u00a0department with quality arthroscopic devices, well-trained surgeons are mandatory for increasing the success rate of this minimally invasive procedure. State-of-the-art technology matching international standards, the precision of the\u00a0orthopaedic\u00a0department and the surgical expertise of the doctors at Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta enable optimal output of this procedure on patients suffering from knee injury due to sports or trauma. Similar expertise enabled the young female biker to get back to pre-injury activity and sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
