Dr. Manu Bora (Artemis Hospital, India) Explain & demonstrates the ACL Graft technique with ALL INSIDE ACL RECONSTRUCTION WITH FIBER TAPE INTERNAL BRACING.

I am a mountaineer, a rock climber, a motorcyclist, and an athlete. One day while I was riding my motorcycle, I fell and experienced a sharp pain in my knee. I said that it was something of a sort of common sprain, so I took one month's rest. But when I resumed, the pain was not getting any better. I contacted many doctors- some said that it would get better with time, some said that it would never get better, while one of them promised that the pain could go away with surgery but you will not be able to do any sort of physical activity that you are doing. As an athlete, sports are my life and I could not imagine my life without them. I continued undertaking expeditions but those would be so painful that I would cry midway and restart start my journeys. That is where I chanced upon doctor Manu Bora who diagnosed that it was an ACL tear. He explained to me how he would reconstruct my ligament with fibers without any screw or plate and promised to me that I would start running within three months after surgery. And with all my heart I would like to say that what he promised was absolutely true.
