ACL reconstruction repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a key stabilizing ligament in the knee, using a graft to restore stability and function. It is commonly needed after sports injuries and allows patients to return to active lifestyles, including sports, with a stable and well-functioning knee.
ACL reconstruction is recommended for active individuals with a confirmed ACL tear who experience instability during daily activities or sports, or when the knee remains unstable despite physiotherapy. MRI confirms the diagnosis and extent of injury.
