ACL Reconstruction Techniques

ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, often damaged during sports. The surgery typically involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, which can be taken from the patient’s own tissue (autograft) or a donor (allograft). The surgery is usually done arthroscopically, meaning small incisions and a camera are used to guide the process. After surgery, rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength and stability to the knee, enabling a return to normal activities and sports over time. Overall, it's designed to help individuals regain function and prevent further injury.
