2007-08-20
The orthopedic surgery team in SGH Madinah made an ACL reconstruction operation for the second time in the same knee for patient and after making consultation and MRI which showed that the tendon which is fixed in the place of the torn ACL tendon has been cutted, so far the team decided that there must be another operation by using the arthroscope, which reveals that there was a cut in the tendon which has been fixed through the last operation associated with meniscus injury, so they remove the cutted part from the meniscus and the residual part of the tendon and the old screws from the previous operation.
Then they take part from the patellar tendon with small part from the patella & tibia which is fixed with screws in the place of the torn ACL.
Thanks God the patient start the physiotherapy rehabilitation from the second day of operation to regain the normal ROM & normal muscle power of the knee.
