ACL Tears

Avoid ACL Surgery with Cureisin

Have you been told that invasive surgery is your only option to fix your torn ACL? You have other options when it comes to treating your ACL injury. In fact, your body is built to repair itself. Interventional orthopaedics provides a non-surgical alternative that uses your own cells to repair the damage. It uses precise image-guided injections of your own body’s healing agents that can help repair tissue.

An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can cause substantial difficulty with basic mobility and function and is especially common among athletes, including professional ones. ACL injuries and ACL surgeries occur in just about every sport. Strains or sprains to the ACL typically heal with rest, but at the point of ACL tear, the main treatment option is ACL surgery involving applying a tissue graft taken from elsewhere in the body or a cadaver. This graft attaches at a steeper angle than the original tendon which causes more compression on the cartilage in the knee and greatly increased chance of osteoarthritis while the position sense and strength in the repaired knee are never the same. In addition, as is typical with orthopaedic surgeries, patients who get this surgery are significantly more likely to experience additional knee injuries. The Cureisin procedure is an injection-based procedure that can replace 70% of ACL-repair surgeries. During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the precise areas of damage to tighten and stabilise your knee joint for better function and mobility.
