Cost of Revision ACL Reconstruction Surgery in India

A revision ACL reconstruction is a follow-up surgery to treat a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a vital ligament in the knee that connects the thigh bone to the shin bone. Injury to this ligament occurs more to sportspersons who play basketball, football and gymnastics. The second surgery is considered to be more challenging as the tissue has already endured an operation.
