What are Complex Knee Surgery and Knee Reconstruction?
Complex knee surgery refers to surgical procedures that address intricate knee conditions requiring specialized expertise and advanced techniques. These surgeries often involve multiple structures within the knee joint or complex reconstructions.
​
By opting for complex knee surgery, patients can experience significant improvements in pain relief, mobility, joint health, and overall quality of life, enabling them to return to an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Complex Knee Surgery:
ACL or PCL Reconstruction with Meniscus Repair
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction with Meniscus Repair involves surgically repairing torn knee ligaments and damaged meniscal cartilage. This combination surgery aims to restore knee stability, function, and alleviate pain, helping patients return to their daily activities and sports.
​
Knee Reconstruction:
Comprehensive knee ligament and meniscus surgery involves the reconstruction of one or more major knee ligaments (ACL or PCL) in conjunction with meniscus repair and the reconstruction of the collateral ligaments (MCL or LCL). This advanced surgical approach aims to restore knee stability, function, and alleviate pain for patients with complex knee injuries.

PROCESS OF COMPLEX KNEE SURGERY / KNEE RECONSTRUCTION
What to Expect at Orthopedics Surgeries Mexico
What happens before the procedure?
During the consultation, the surgeon will assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and conduct a physical examination. They will explain the hip replacement procedure along with the potential risks and benefits specific to your case.
What happens during the procedure?
The surgeon will make a small incision around the knee and insert a thin tube called anarthroscope, which has a camera and light source. The camera transmits images of the inside of the joint to a video monitor.
Ligament Reconstruction
ACL/PCL Reconstruction:
Tendon grafts are harvested from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft).
Small tunnels are drilled into the femur and tibia to create pathways for the new ligament.
The graft is threaded through the tunnels and secured with screws or other fixation devices.
MCL/LCL Reconstruction:
Graft Preparation: Similar techniques are used to prepare and place grafts for the collateral ligaments.
Stabilization: Ensures medial and lateral stability of the knee.
​
Meniscus Repair:
The condition of the meniscus is thoroughly evaluated.
Repair Techniques:
Torn meniscus edges are sutured together if repairable.
Irreparably damaged portions of the meniscus are removed.
Meniscus Transplantation (if applicable):
A donor meniscus is transplanted to replace a severely damaged or missing meniscus.
Wrapping the meniscus with collagen to promote healing and regeneration.​
How long does a Knee Complex or Reconstruction surgery take?

Getting Back to Your Life
Recovering from complex knee surgery, such as ACL/PCL reconstruction combined with meniscus and MCL/LCL repair, requires a structured rehabilitation plan. Initially, focus on rest, ice, compression, and elevation to manage pain and swelling. Gradually introduce range of motion and strengthening exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist.
Return to light activities and driving within 1-2 weeks, and low-impact sports within 3-4 months. Maintain long-term knee health with regular strengthening exercises, a healthy weight, and proper nutrition.
