The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four major ligaments in the knee that provides rotational stability. ACL tears commonly occur during sports (football, basketball, kabaddi) involving sudden stops, direction changes, or awkward landings. A complete ACL tear does not heal on its own and requires surgical reconstruction using a graft for patients who want to return to sports or have persistent knee instability.
| Procedure | Cost | Stay | Recovery | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arthroscopic ACL (Hamstring Graft) | ₹25,000–₹2,50,000 | 1–2 days | 6–9 months | Most common; uses patient's own hamstring tendon |
| ACL Reconstruction (BPTB Graft) | ₹40,000–₹3,00,000 | 1–2 days | 6–9 months | Gold standard for athletes |
| ACL Reconstruction (Allograft) | ₹60,000–₹3,50,000 | 1–2 days | 6–9 months | Donor graft; no donor site morbidity |
| ACL + Meniscus Repair | ₹60,000–₹4,00,000 | 1–2 days | 6–9 months | Combined surgery when meniscus is also torn |
| Robotic ACL Reconstruction | ₹2,50,000–₹4,00,000 | 1–2 days | 6–9 months | Robotic-assisted; precise tunnel placement |

Hamstring autograft is the most common and moderate cost. BPTB (bone-patellar tendon-bone) is slightly more. Allograft (donor tendon) costs most (₹20,000–₹50,000 for graft alone) but avoids donor site pain.
Fixation devices (endobutton, interference screws) cost ₹15,000–₹40,000. Bioabsorbable screws cost more than metallic. Suspensory fixation (TightRope) is premium.
Meniscus tear repair adds ₹20,000–₹50,000. Cartilage procedures add more. Multi-ligament reconstruction is significantly more expensive.
6–9 months of structured physiotherapy is essential. May be included or separate (₹20,000–₹40,000 for complete rehab program).
ACL reconstruction is usually covered by health insurance when medically necessary, such as in cases of documented knee instability or failure of conservative treatment. Coverage for sports-related injuries may vary depending on the policy. Cashless treatment is available at network hospitals. At Unittas Hospital, our team assists with cashless pre-authorisation and TPA coordination.
Unittas Hospital offers flexible EMI with 0% interest for select tenures over 3 to 24 months, with quick processing and minimal documentation.
