Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction carries success rates exceeding 90% in appropriately selected patients. The procedure restores knee stability with minimal tissue disruption. Outcomes are strongly influenced by the surgeon's arthroscopic proficiency, graft selection, and structured post-operative rehabilitation, all of which are integral to Dr. Jebaraj's clinical protocol.

PRP therapy concentrates your blood's own growth factors and injects them into damaged joint tissue, stimulating natural repair mechanisms. For mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis or early ligament degeneration, PRP can significantly reduce pain and delay or even eliminate the need for surgical intervention, making it an increasingly preferred first-line biological option.

Modern enhanced recovery protocols mean most patients are mobilised with support within 24–48 hours of surgery. Formal bed rest is minimal. Assisted walking typically begins on Day 1 post-operatively, with guided physiotherapy commencing shortly after. Full functional recovery, including independent walking is commonly achieved within 6–12 weeks, depending on overall fitness.

A sprain involves injury to ligaments, the fibrous tissue connecting bones at a joint — and does not involve a break in the bone itself. A fracture, by contrast, denotes a complete or partial disruption in bone continuity. While both produce localised pain and swelling, accurate differentiation requires clinical assessment and imaging, as treatment pathways differ substantially.

A clicking or crepitus sensation during stair-climbing typically indicates patellofemoral tracking irregularities, early cartilage thinning, or mild synovial irritation within the knee joint. While occasional painless clicking may be benign, persistent or painful crepitus warrants clinical evaluation — as it can signal early osteoarthritis or a structural issue benefiting from timely intervention.
