This is done where the ACL tear cannot be stitched together. Grafts like the Patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, quadriceps tendon or a cadaver tendon are used in ACL Reconstruction surgery in Indore. The patellar tendon heals faster while the hamstring tendon provides easier surgical recovery and lesser post-surgery pain. Quadriceps tendon is mostly used on people who have already had one ACL surgery.
