ACL Reconstruction
ACL Reconstruction
ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or replace a torn ACL, one of the key ligaments that stabilize the knee. ACL injuries are common in athletes and active individuals, often caused by sudden twisting, pivoting, or trauma to the knee. Reconstruction restores stability, strength, and function, allowing patients to return to normal activities and sports.
When ACL Reconstruction is Needed
- Complete or significant ACL tear causing knee instability
- Frequent giving-way or buckling of the knee
- Persistent pain and swelling despite conservative treatment
- High activity level requiring knee stability for sports or work
- Associated injuries to meniscus, cartilage, or other ligaments
Procedure Overview
- Arthroscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for graft placement
- Graft Options: Patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, or allograft (donor tissue)
- Precision Techniques: Advanced instruments ensure proper alignment and stability
