Ligament repair is needed when a ligament is torn and non-surgical treatments like rest, physical therapy or medications do not relieve any pain or restore function. It is often necessary for severe injuries.

Ligament repair can be done through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, depending on the injury's location & severity. The torn ligament is stitched or replaced with a graft.
What is the recovery time for ligament repair?
Recovery time varies depending on the injury & the ligament involved. Most patients can return to light activities after 6-12 weeks, but full recovery can take several months, especially for more severe injuries.
