ACL Reconstruction is a knee surgery performed to replace the torn ACL with a piece of tendon from another part of the knee. It is commonly performed to repair the complete ACL tear – a tear in one of the major ligaments in the knee.
The ACL injury that requires an ACL reconstruction commonly occurs in sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction, and sports that involve direct contact between the players that results in a mild or severe injury.
The ACL reconstruction is an outpatient procedure that is usually performed through small incisions around the knee, however, in severe and complex ACL injuries, an open knee surgery may be the best way to address the ACL injury.
