Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Repair

ACL repair is a surgical procedure to restore stability to the knee after a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The surgeon often uses a graft—either from the patient’s own tissue or a donor—to replace the damaged ligament. The procedure involves attaching the graft securely to the thigh and shin bones, helping the knee regain strength and proper function. Post-surgery, physical therapy is essential to recover range of motion, muscle strength, and to prevent future injuries. ACL repair aims to restore normal knee stability, allowing individuals to return to daily activities or sports safely.
