ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Reconstruction

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure to treat damage to the ACL, a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize movement. When this ligament is torn, often during sports, it can lead to pain and instability. During reconstruction, surgeons replace the damaged ACL with a graft, usually taken from the patient's own tissue or a donor. This procedure aims to restore knee function and stability, allowing individuals to return to their normal activities, particularly sports. Rehabilitation follows surgery to ensure proper healing and to regain strength and mobility.
