ACL Reconstruction Surgery
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is one of the main ligaments in your knee. It helps you walk, run, jump, and keep your knee stable.
When the ACL is torn due to a sports injury or accident, it can cause:
-
Knee pain and swelling
-
A “popping” sound at the time of injury
-
Knee feeling unstable or “giving way”
-
Trouble walking, bending, or twisting
What is ACL Reconstruction?
ACL Reconstruction is a surgery to replace the torn ligament with a new one (usually a tendon from your own body or a donor). It helps your knee become stable, strong, and functional again.
-
This surgery is often needed by:
-
Athletes and active people
-
Those who feel knee instability
-
People with repeated knee injuries
-
Patients who want to return to sports or daily activities pain-free
How is the Surgery Done?
-
Done using arthroscopy (small cuts, less pain)
-
A tiny camera and tools are used to remove the torn ACL
-
A new graft (ligament) is placed and fixed securely
-
The entire procedure takes about 1–2 hours
-
You usually go home the same or next day.
