Hamstring Graft

A hamstring graft is a surgical procedure often used in knee ligament reconstruction, particularly for repairing a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). In this procedure, surgeons take tendons from the hamstring muscles, located at the back of the thigh, to use as a replacement for the damaged ligament. This graft is selected because it can provide strong support and allow for a natural healing process. The surgery aims to restore stability and function to the knee, helping patients return to their normal activities, including sports, with improved strength and mobility.
