Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR)

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) is a surgical procedure to repair a torn ACL, a key ligament in the knee that stabilizes it during movement. The surgery involves replacing the damaged ligament with a new tissue graft, often taken from the patient's own patellar tendon, hamstring tendons, or from a donor. The goal is to restore knee stability, improve function, and allow a safe return to sports or daily activities. Post-surgery, patients typically undergo physiotherapy to regain strength, range of motion, and confidence in their knee.
