ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The ACL is crucial for stabilizing the knee during movement, especially in sports. This injury often occurs during activities that involve sudden stops or changes in direction.
During the procedure, a surgeon replaces the damaged ACL with a graft, which can be taken from the patient’s own tissue or a donor. After surgery, rehabilitation is essential to restore strength and mobility, allowing individuals to return to their normal activities and sports safely.
