    Preparing for ACL Surgery

    Our orthopedic surgeon will assess your knee and make an accurate diagnosis using state-of-the-art technology. Once it is confirmed, we will schedule your anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at our Houston clinic according to your feasibility. We will review your medical history and physical examination to determine if any health issues need attention before the surgery. Some individuals may need to undergo tests to detect abnormalities that can compromise the procedure’s safety.

    It is important to inform us about your allergies, especially if you are allergic to any medications, anesthesia, or latex. Inform the doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as we might ask you to stop taking blood thinners, aspirin, etc., for about two weeks. You will also need to refrain from alcohol and tobacco a few days before the surgery. Make sure you do not eat or drink anything 8 hours prior to your surgical treatment, and arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure. Our orthopedic team will guide you on how to prepare for the surgery!

    Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

    An Insight into ACL Reconstruction

    Anterior Cruciate Ligament or ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a torn or injured ACL ligament in your knee. A new ACL tissue graft is taken from your own body or a deceased donor, and then it replaces the affected area. The goal of this surgical procedure is to restore the stability of your knee!

    Our Process for ACL Reconstruction Surgery

    Our orthopedic surgeon usually performs ACL reconstruction surgery under general anesthesia, taking a minimally invasive approach. When you visit us for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in Houston, here is what the procedure might involve:

    1. We will start by making two to three minor incisions around your knee.
    2. An arthroscope is inserted into your knee joint through one of the cuts, which helps us see inside the knee joint.
    3. Our surgeon will also pump a sterile solution into the joint, expanding it to attain a clear view and space to work inside the knee.
    4. We insert miniature surgical instruments through the other incisions and remove the damaged ACL.
    5. Depending on your graft type, we will harvest the new graft and drill small holes in the upper and lower leg bones. Thanks to the holes, your bone will have a pathway to accept the new graft.
    6. Next, we will pull the graft through one of the predrilled holes and fix it into the bones using suture anchors or screws.
    7. Our team will withdraw the scope and instruments once we are satisfied with the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Then, we suture and bandage the incisions.

    You will receive postoperative care instructions after your anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the orthopedic surgeon at our office. Make sure you follow them to the dot for proper recovery!

    Dr. Barrett Brown is a very fine physician. He is also a friend. While he is a surgeon he said this about my horribly painful shoulder. First we will try an injection performed by our specialist using ultra sound. (It was painless.) If that does not relieve your pain we will do a cat scan to evaluate the rotator cuff.

    Highly recommend Dr Brown!!! He took time to answer all questions without rushing. I called his office in severe pain and received the in- office MRI and Dr appt the next day then Dr Brown explained my condition and I was booked for surgery with their on-site hospital days later. The surgery went great and I was treated great by all staff. They have valet service as well. Thanks Dr Brown and all staff!!!

    I had a rotator cuff repair with Dr. Brown. Everyone at this hospital from the registration staff, pre-op nurse, surgery staff, recovery room nurse, the anesthesiologist, and of course, the surgeon, Dr. Brown were all professional and caring.

    I have, unfortunately, been a frequent visitor to the Fondren Orthopedic clinic as I cannot seem to stay on my feet 😅. My most recent experience with Dr. Brown has been nothing short of excellent. From the initial exam to surgery and then the follow up and discussion of how I am healing have been extremely thorough and communication has been a 10. I would definitely recommend.
