ACL reconstruction surgery in India typically uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, with various graft options like autografts (using your own tissue, often from the patellar tendon or hamstrings), allografts (donor tissue), or rarely, synthetic grafts. The surgery can be combined with meniscus repair or removal if needed. Recovery time is generally 6-12 months, and with proper rehabilitation, you can often return to your previous physical activities. The average cost can vary depending on the hospital, surgeon, and specific procedure, but it's generally in the range of ‚Çπ1,50,000 to ‚Çπ3,00,000.

I had an accident yesterday where my knee gave out while walking. The hospital did an MRI and the report shows a near full thickness tear in my anterior cruciate ligament. Should I consider surgery or can physiotherapy help heal it? I've attached the MRI report for reference.

I had ACL reconstruction with a hamstring autograft where they used a bioabsorbable screw on the tibial side and an endobutton on the femoral side I read that endobuttons are made of titanium and some studies say titanium might weaken the immune system or even cause cancer Is it possible to remove the endobutton later and is it really safe to keep it in long-term
