Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair a torn ACL, a crucial ligament that stabilizes the knee joint. ACL reconstruction is done to help restore the knee's normal movement and stability, and to prevent further injury. It can be done with a combination of tissue from the patient or with donor tissue, such as from a cadaver. The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours and requires a period of physical rehabilitation for full recovery. ACL reconstruction is an important surgical procedure for those who have had an ACL tear and can make a big difference in knee function and quality of life.
