ACL Surgery In Singapore: What To Expect

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery is a reconstruction procedure that replaces the torn ligament in your knee with a graft (commonly from your hamstring, patellar tendon, or donor tissue). It’s often recommended for athletes, active individuals, or those with knee instability that affects daily life.

Before Surgery
Consultation & Imaging: MRI and physical examination to confirm the ACL tear.
Prehab: Doctors often advise physiotherapy before surgery to reduce swelling, strengthen muscles, and improve range of motion.
Medical Clearance: Blood tests, health checks, and discussion of risks.

The Surgery
Duration: Usually 1–2 hours, performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
Technique: Minimally invasive (arthroscopic) — small incisions with a camera and instruments.
Hospital Stay: Most patients can go home the same or next day.

Cost in Singapore
Private hospitals: SGD \$10,000 – \$18,000 (before insurance/Medisave).
Public hospitals: SGD \$6,000 – \$10,000 (subsidised).
Medisave/Insurance: Partially claimable under surgical procedures.
