Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction
The meniscus is a cartilage pad that stabilizes the knee joint and acts as a shock absorber during movement. Meniscal tears are typically caused by sports injuries accompanied by rotation of the lower leg. Statistics show that osteoarthritis develops within 10 years following such injuries. When it is impossible to repair a meniscal tear, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL reconstruction) of the knee joint is indicated.
This facilitates rapid recovery after ACL reconstruction of the knee joint, ensures the prevention of complications, and shortens the rehabilitation period.
The combination of mosaicplasty and arthro-medullary shunting will also significantly reduce the rehabilitation period in young patients with:
To prevent the potential development of arthrosis in the future, arthro-medullary shunting can be used in combination with the surgery.
- König's disease (osteochondritis dissecans of the knee joint);
- Mauclaire’s disease (Mosche-Diaz disease);
- osteochondropathy of the talar dome.
