ACL Surgery

ACL surgery is a common procedure to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, often injured during sports. The surgery usually involves replacing the damaged ligament with a tissue graft, which can be taken from the patient’s own body or a donor. This helps restore stability and strength to the knee. The procedure is typically performed arthroscopically, using small incisions and a camera. Recovery includes physical therapy to regain mobility and strength, and full recovery can take several months, depending on the individual and the severity of the injury.
