Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear

Prof. Dr. Sinan KAHRAMAN and her expert team safely perform treatments and achieve successful results.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tear

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the ligaments in the knee joint that prevents the tibia from moving forward and provides stability.

How Is ACL Tear Surgery Performed?

Tendons taken from the patient using a minimally invasive method are converted into a ligament. Through tunnels created in the knee joint using an arthroscopic technique, a new ligament reconstruction is performed.

What Are the Advantages of ACL Tear Surgery?

Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, postoperative pain is minimal. The physical therapy process begins immediately.

Postoperative Process After ACL Tear Surgery

The patient can start bearing weight immediately. After 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy, the patient can return to sports by the end of the third month.

He graduated from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. Between 2004 and 2010, he completed his residency training in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Medicine, becoming a specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology.

    I am grateful to Prof. Sinan for everything and sincerely thank him for his kindness and attentive care. On July 15, 2016, my left leg was severely fractured in a traffic accident. There was a high risk of my leg becoming shorter, impaired, or leaving me with a limp. After three surgeries performed by Prof. Sinan, I was able to return to my place in the squad in amateur football matches.

    I met Mr. Sinan because of my daughter’s scoliosis surgery. We are very lucky that he came into our lives during such a difficult time. His experience in his profession and his sincere care and attention to his patient left us in admiration. I saw in Dr. Sinan what it means to truly love one’s profession. After a 14-hour surgery, my daughter regained her health thanks to Dr. Sinan and his team. I don’t even know how to thank him. I wish Dr. Sinan success in his profession and happiness in his life.

    Dr. Sinan, endless thanks for everything—we are truly grateful. Thanks to the surgery you performed, my mother’s shoulder pain, which had been keeping her awake especially at night for a year, has come to an end. You diagnosed the causes of her shoulder pain as frozen shoulder, degeneration, narrowing, and a tear, and you successfully treated all of them with a single operation. No matter how much we thank you, it is not enough—we are deeply grateful. We are so glad to have you. May God grant you strength and good health and never let you be absent from our lives. Wishing you continued success, Dr. Sinan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear?
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a serious injury that occurs when the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee joint is torn. The ACL is one of the four main ligaments that provide stability to the knee and is located between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia). This ligament controls the forward movement and rotational stability of the knee, ensuring proper joint function. ACL tears commonly occur during sports activities involving sudden stops, pivoting, jumping, or rapid changes in direction.
Main Causes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears
The main causes of ACL tears include high-intensity sports such as football, basketball, skiing, and tennis. Sudden stops, jumps, and directional changes during these activities can place excessive stress on the ACL, leading to a tear. Additionally, direct impact or trauma to the knee can also result in an ACL injury.
Diagnosis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear
Diagnosis of an ACL tear is made through physical examination, patient medical history, and imaging techniques such as MRI. The physician evaluates knee stability and range of motion to determine the severity of the tear. MRI helps confirm whether the ligament is torn and shows the extent of the injury.

The Importance of Early Diagnosis
With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the symptoms of an ACL tear can be controlled and the patient’s quality of life can be significantly improved. Therefore, it is important to consult a specialist when knee pain or related symptoms are noticed.
