Acl Reconstruction

A surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee.

ACL reconstruction involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, which may be obtained from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft). This surgery restores stability to the knee and allows patients to return to sports and other activities.
