jointsguruHello friends. My name is Dr. Naveen Sharma. And I am a senior consultant in Apollo Hospital Jaipur and Advance Hospital Jaipur. Friends, Have you got the ACL surgery done and still have pain in the knees? If yes, and you don’t understand why this pain is happening and you have a doubt in your mind that your surgery might have got failed then watch this video from start till end and I will explain the reasons for having pain even after ACL surgery. Greetings friends. Friends, ACL is such a surgery that hardly fails. Its success rate is very high. Till now, we have done more than 10,000 operations and have got a 100% success rate.
I have already shared a video on the reasons for the failure of ACL surgery. You can check that out in the description box. Friends, after the ACL surgery, some people get completely fit. They can walk and run like before and many times share this with me in the comment box that are completely fit. But some people keep getting pain. There can be a few reasons for continuous pain after ACL surgery. The main reason that I have observed is the cartilage getting damaged. If your cartilage is damaged, there can be many reasons for it. If you get your ACL surgery very late, the cartilage can be damaged. 2nd reason for pain after ACL surgery can be a post-surgical infection. If infection happens, the cartilage gets damaged and that can be the reason for pain. Some people get their surgery done but do not follow proper rehabilitation and exercise after that.
Because of this, their muscles remain weak and due to muscle weakness, they have pain in the knees. So, these are the three main reasons.
Muscles getting damaged, cartilage getting damaged, and catching infection. Due to these three reasons, there can be a pain in the knees even after the ACL surgery. How to know, what your reason is? First of all, you can compare both your legs. If you feel the muscles of this leg weaker in comparison to your normal leg then this can be the main reason for the pain in your leg. If the reason is an infection, then the wound will not heal; or will take time to heal. And if you get your blood tested, then infection markers would be high like ESR / CRP. If infection markers are coming positive and the wound is not getting healed for long and seeping water or if the wound is healed but there is swelling and pain in the legs, then this can be an infection. The infection can be tested through a blood test and if medicines are taken properly, this can be completely cured. Sometimes, after ACL, cyclops legion is formed on the graft which can also lead to pain in the knees. If cyclops legion is formed, there is a pain in the knees and the patient also faces difficulty in straightening his legs completely, rough an MRI you can find out if there are any cyclops formed in the knee because this can also be the reason for pain after ACL surgery. So friends, due to muscle weakness, infection, and cartilage damage, there can be a pain in the knees after ACL surgery. If you have got ACL surgery done and have pain in the knees, please contact me on the below-mentioned numbers and I will help you to the fullest. Thanks, friends.
