You will have a general or a spinal anesthetic. A general anesthetic
will relax your muscles and make you feel as if you are in a deep sleep.
A spinal anesthetic leaves you awake, but unable to feel anything from
the waist down.
Your surgeon and assistants will get your knee ready for surgery.
An arthroscope is used to see inside your knee. An arthroscope is a
thin tube with a camera inside. Small instruments are passed through
small incisions, or cuts and viewed by the camera to do the surgery.
Your surgeon makes sure that there are no other injuries to your knee
with the arthroscope. If there are other injuries, they may be repaired
at this time.
The graft is removed through a small incision or cut below your knee.
The surgeon prepares the graft, and drills small holes into your femur
and tibia where the graft is attached. The graft is passed through the
holes and anchored in place with screws or staples. The incisions are
closed with stitches, tapes or staples and covered with a dressing.
A brace or a splint may be used to support the knee.
