\nAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common. It is frequently encountered in various\nsports branches such as football, basketball, and gymnastics. Generally, they can be torn by stretching\nmovements such as sudden stopping, changing direction, and turning. It is more common in women\nthan men.<\/p>\n
\nThe knee joint provides the connection between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). It is\na tripartite structure consisting of the femur, tibia, and patella (knee cap). These bones are covered\nwith thick cartilage tissue. Owing to the cartilage structure, the bone surfaces move simply without\nfriction. Between these two cartilage surfaces (femur and tibia) there is a hard cartilage structure called\na C or crescent-shaped meniscus.\n<\/p>\n
\nThere are 4 main ligaments in the knee region. These ligaments connect the femur and tibia. The\nanterior cruciate ligament, located anterior to the center of the knee, is responsible for restricting the\nrotation of the tibia and preventing it from sliding forward. The ligament at the back of the knee is the\nposterior cruciate ligament and prevents backward movement (slipping) of the tibia. The ligaments\nresponsible for stability are medial collateral and lateral collateral ligaments. While the medial\ncollateral ligament provides stability within the knee, the lateral collateral ligament maintains the\nexternal stability of the knee.\n<\/p>\n
\nIn knee injuries, it is confirmed whether there is a cruciate ligament tear by using X-ray and MRI\nmethods after the examination. It is determined whether there is an injury to the bone. Anterior\ncruciate ligament injuries are treated surgically. With the developments in the health sector, this\nsurgery can be performed closed with the arthroscopic technique. It is seen that patients recover faster.\n<\/p>\n
\nACL Closed Loop is used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery.\n<\/p>\n
\nACL Closed Loop (ACL Closed Loop) consists of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene\n(UHMWPE). Provides stamina and strength.\n<\/p>\n
\n– Cannot be absorbed.
\n– The button part is shiny titanium.
\n– Its dimensions are in the range of 12 \u2013 60 mm.\n
\nOn the same day after the operation, knee exercises explained by the physiotherapist are started. It is\nnecessary to support from crutches for several weeks, and the patient should not overload the knee.\n<\/p>\n
\nMaintaining the stability of the knee and regaining its former functions after regular exercise and\nfollow-up show that the surgery was successful. Sports activities can be started from the 5th or 6th\nmonth.\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
