ACL reconstruction is one of his core surgical areas, and he brings a rigorous approach to every aspect of the procedure, from graft selection and tunnel placement to fixation technique and the return-to-sport timeline. His goal in every ACL reconstruction is not just a knee that is stable on examination, but a knee the patient can trust completely in the activities that matter to them.<\/p>\n            <p>He manages both primary ACL reconstructions, where the ligament has torn for the first time, and revision ACL reconstructions, where a previous graft has failed and the knee requires more complex surgical planning. Patients come to Axcura Ortho from Mehsana, Visnagar, Unjha, Patan, Sidhpur, Vadnagar and across North Gujarat specifically for Dr. Hardik's expertise in knee arthroscopy and ligament surgery.<\/p>\n            <div class=\"doctor-stats\">\n                <div class=\"stat-box\">\n                    <strong>1000+<\/strong>\n                    <span>Arthroscopic Procedures<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"stat-box\">\n                    <strong>10+<\/strong>\n                    <span>Years Experience<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"stat-box\">\n                    <strong>North Gujarat<\/strong>\n                    <span>Trusted Specialist<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"expertise-list\">\n                <span>ACL Reconstruction<\/span>\n                <span>Revision ACL Surgery<\/span>\n                <span>Sports Injury Care<\/span>\n                <span>Knee Arthroscopy<\/span>\n                <span>Ligament Stabilization<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"doctor-buttons\">\n                <a href=\"\/contact-us\" target=\"contact-us\" class=\"primary-btn\">\n                   Contact Us\n                <\/a>\n                <a href=\"\/dr-hardik-nayak-sports-injury-surgeon-mehsana\" target=\"about-me\" class=\"secondary-btn\">\n                    About me\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33564e7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"33564e7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4325151 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"4325151\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section id=\"acl-info\">\n    <div class=\"acl-info__container\">\n\n        <div class=\"acl-info__intro\">\n\n            <div class=\"acl-info__content acl-info__fade-left\">\n                <span class=\"acl-info__badge\">ACL Reconstruction<\/span>\n\n                <h2 class=\"acl-info__title\">\n                    What is the ACL and Why Does a Tear Need Surgical Treatment?\n                <\/h2>\n\n                <p class=\"acl-info__text\">\n                    The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four major ligaments that stabilise the knee joint. It runs diagonally through the centre of the knee, connecting the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone), and its primary function is to prevent the tibia from sliding forward under the femur and to control rotational stability of the knee. When the ACL tears, the knee loses this control. Pivoting, cutting, landing from a jump or even walking on uneven ground can cause the joint to give way unpredictably.\n                <\/p>\n\n                <p class=\"acl-info__text\">\n                    Unlike muscle or tendon, the ACL has very poor healing capacity. The blood supply to the ligament is limited, and a torn ACL does not knit back together on its own. This is why reconstruction, rather than simple repair, is the standard surgical treatment. A new ligament is created using a graft taken from elsewhere in the patient's own body, or in some cases from a donor source, and fixed into precisely positioned tunnels drilled through the femur and tibia to replicate the anatomy and function of the original ligament.\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"acl-info__image acl-info__fade-right\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/acl-anatomy.jpg\" alt=\"ACL Knee Anatomy\" title=\"ACL Reconstruction Surgery in Mehsana, Content for Review\">\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"acl-info__card acl-info__card--highlight acl-info__fade-up\">\n            <h3 class=\"acl-info__subtitle\">\n                Who Needs ACL Reconstruction Surgery?\n            <\/h3>\n\n            <p class=\"acl-info__text\">\n                Not every ACL tear requires reconstruction surgery. Some patients, particularly those who are older, less active and have good muscle control around the knee, manage well with physiotherapy and activity modification without reconstruction. But for most patients who want to return to sport, physically demanding work or activities that involve pivoting and change of direction, a reconstructed ACL is necessary to restore the stability the knee needs. Without it, repeated episodes of giving way damage the menisci and cartilage progressively, accelerating the onset of knee arthritis.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f170d1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8f170d1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd3f10f elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"cd3f10f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section id=\"acl-procedure\">\n\n    <div class=\"acl-procedure__hero\">\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__hero-content\">\n\n            <span class=\"acl-procedure__badge\">\n                ACL Reconstruction Surgery\n            <\/span>\n\n            <h2>\n                Inside the Operating Theatre, How ACL Reconstruction is Performed at Axcura Ortho\n            <\/h2>\n\n            <p>\n                ACL reconstruction at Axcura Ortho is performed arthroscopically, meaning the entire procedure is carried out through small keyhole incisions using a camera and precision instruments.

It is not a synthetic implant. It is biological tissue that, over time, undergoes a process called ligamentisation, during which the graft is gradually remodelled by the body into functional ligament tissue. The choice of graft is one of the most important decisions in ACL reconstruction and Dr. Hardik discusses this with every patient individually based on their age, sport, activity demands and anatomy.\n        <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"acl-procedure__grafts\">\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__graft-card\">\n            <h4>Hamstring Tendon Graft (Gracilis and Semitendinosus)<\/h4>\n            <p>\n                The most commonly used graft for ACL reconstruction in younger, active patients. Two tendons from the back of the thigh are harvested, folded to create a multi-strand graft and fixed into the femoral and tibial tunnels. Hamstring grafts have an excellent long-term track record, minimal donor site morbidity and reliable incorporation. The harvest site recovers well in the majority of patients.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__graft-card\">\n            <h4>Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB) Graft<\/h4>\n            <p>\n                The central third of the patellar tendon, with a block of bone at each end, is harvested and used as the graft. The bone-to-bone healing at each fixation point is faster than soft tissue fixation, which is an advantage in patients who want to return to high-demand pivoting sport as quickly as possible. BPTB grafts are often the preferred choice for elite athletes and those returning to contact sport.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__graft-card\">\n            <h4>Quadriceps Tendon Graft<\/h4>\n            <p>\n                An increasingly used option that combines a large cross-sectional area with relatively low donor site morbidity. Particularly useful in revision ACL surgery where the hamstring or patellar tendon has already been harvested, or in patients where anatomical considerations make the quadriceps tendon the most suitable choice.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__graft-card\">\n            <h4>Allograft (Donor Graft)<\/h4>\n            <p>\n                In selected patients, particularly those undergoing revision ACL surgery or multi-ligament reconstruction, donor tissue may be the most appropriate graft source. Dr. Hardik discusses the role of allograft, its biological considerations and its appropriate use on a case-by-case basis.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__graft-card acl-procedure__graft-card--featured\">\n            <h4>Jewel ACL (Artificial Synthetic Graft)<\/h4>\n            <p>\n                The Jewel ACL is a next-generation synthetic ligament graft used as an alternative to biological grafts in selected patients. It eliminates donor site morbidity entirely, as there is no tendon harvested from the patient's own body, and allows earlier functional rehabilitation due to its immediate mechanical strength. Dr. Hardik Nayak uses the Jewel ACL for appropriate candidates, including patients who want to avoid graft harvest, those with specific anatomical considerations, or those seeking a faster return to activity. Graft selection between biological and synthetic options is discussed in detail at the consultation.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"acl-procedure__highlight\">\n\n        <h3>\n            Tunnel Placement, The Technical Detail That Determines Long-Term Outcomes\n        <\/h3>\n\n        <p>\n            The position of the femoral and tibial tunnels determines whether the reconstructed ACL replicates the function of the original ligament. Tunnels that are placed even a few millimetres off the anatomical footprint of the original ACL result in a graft that does not control rotation correctly, even if it appears stable on a straight-line test. Dr. Hardik uses anatomical tunnel placement guided by arthroscopic visualisation and fluoroscopy, restoring the ACL to its native position rather than an approximation of it.\n        <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"acl-procedure__injuries\">\n\n        <h3>\n            Managing Associated Injuries at the Time of ACL Reconstruction\n        <\/h3>\n\n        <p>\n            ACL tears are frequently not isolated injuries. At the time of the ACL tear, the menisci, articular cartilage, posterolateral corner structures or other ligaments may also have been damaged. These associated injuries, if left untreated at the time of reconstruction, can significantly compromise the outcome of the ACL repair and increase the risk of graft failure. Dr. Hardik performs a thorough arthroscopic assessment of the entire joint at the time of ACL reconstruction and addresses any associated pathology simultaneously.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"acl-procedure__injury-grid\">\n\n            <div class=\"acl-procedure__injury-card\">\n                <h4>Meniscus Repair at the Time of ACL Reconstruction<\/h4>\n                <p>A repairable meniscus tear found at the time of ACL reconstruction should be repaired rather than removed. The biological environment of an ACL reconstruction is particularly favourable for meniscal healing.
