Reconstructive and restorative surgeries of the knee joint at HBMedical

What is knee reconstruction surgery?

It’s not just surgery, it’s the ability to run, play sports, play with your kids, or climb stairs without pain again. Reconstructive surgeries eliminate the effects of injuries, degenerative changes or complications after previous interventions, returning the patient the joy of movement.

Indications for reconstructive surgeries

• ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries
• PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) injuries
• Chondral defects causing pain and movement limitations
• Meniscal tears
• Patellar dysplasia and instability
• Post-traumatic changes, valgus deformity
• Complications after previous interventions or infections

Types of reconstructive and restorative surgeries

• Knee ligamentoplasty — restoration of joint stability
• Suture or meniscus transplantation — preservation of shock-absorbing function
• Microfracture, chondroplasty — stimulation of cartilage regeneration
• Osteotomy — correction of the axis in case of deformities
• Restoration of patella stability
• Complex reconstruction — for complex, combined injuries

Diagnosis and preoperative planning

Comprehensive diagnostics is a key stage in preparation for reconstructive and restorative interventions on the knee joint. It includes:

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography, computed tomography (CT) – for visualization of bone and soft tissue structures;
• Arthroscopic diagnostics in complex clinical cases when standard methods do not provide complete information;
• Functional orthopedic tests to assess stability, biomechanics and functional deficit;
• Individualized treatment planning taking into account age, level of physical activity, concomitant pathologies and expected functional outcome.

How is the surgical intervention performed?

Reconstructive surgery on the knee joint is performed in compliance with modern standards of minimally invasive surgery:

• Anesthesia – spinal or general anesthesia depending on indications;
• Arthroscopic access — minimal invasiveness, high precision of manipulations and better control of the surgeon;
• Main stages — ACL/PCL plastic surgery, meniscus suturing or transplantation, cartilage reconstruction, patella stabilization or limb axis correction;
• Average duration — 60–120 minutes depending on the extent of reconstruction;
• Expected results — pain reduction, scarring minimization, shortened rehabilitation time and restoration of functional activity.

Rehabilitation after surgery

Recovery takes place in stages:

• Exercise therapy from day 1–3 — early activation and control of the amplitude of movements;
• Physiotherapy and orthosis — to reduce pain and swelling, stabilize the joint;
• Functional recovery — everyday activity in 2–3 months, full — in 4–6 months;
• Return to sports — after achieving functional criteria under the supervision of a rehabilitation specialist.
