MCL Repair & Reconstruction is an advanced surgical procedure to restore the medial collateral ligament on the inner side of the knee. Performed using minimally invasive techniques, this procedure involves either repairing the torn ligament with sutures or reconstructing it using a tendon graft. Dr. Sushil Rangdal's robotic-assisted approach ensures precise graft placement and optimal healing for athletes and active individuals with grade III MCL tears or failed conservative treatment.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
General anesthesia is administered for patient comfort during the procedure
Small incisions are made and arthroscope inserted to evaluate the knee joint and surrounding structures
Tendon graft is harvested from hamstring or donor tissue and prepared for reconstruction
Precise bone tunnels are created in femur and tibia using robotic guidance for optimal graft placement
The graft is secured with screws and anchors to restore medial stability to the knee
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.
Dr. Sushil Rangdal uses 3D imaging and robotic planning software to customize the surgical approach for each patient's anatomy
Utilizes state-of-the-art robotic systems for millimeter-precise graft placement and optimal tunnel positioning
Dr. Rangdal performs anatomically accurate reconstruction to restore natural knee biomechanics and function
Implements evidence-based recovery protocols with early mobilization and structured physical therapy for faster healing
What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
Protected weight bearing with hinged brace, focus on pain management and gentle range of motion exercises
Progressive weight bearing, intensive physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility
Sport-specific training, functional testing, and gradual return to full activities under supervision
Complete restoration of medial knee stability with elimination of valgus instability
95% of athletes return to their pre-injury level of competition within 6-9 months
Significant reduction in knee pain and improved quality of life during daily activities
Durable results with excellent long-term knee function and minimal risk of re-injury
