ACL Reconstruction Surgery

ACL reconstruction surgery is a procedure to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, often caused by sports injuries. During the surgery, a surgeon removes the damaged ligament and replaces it with a new one, typically using a graft from your own hamstring or patellar tendon. The goal is to restore knee stability and function, allowing you to return to daily activities and sports. Recovery involves a period of rehabilitation with physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and confidence in the knee. The surgery is generally effective in restoring knee stability and reducing the risk of future injuries.
