Sports Medicine Procedure

ACL Reconstruction

ACL reconstruction replaces a torn anterior cruciate ligament with a tendon graft to help restore knee stability.

Understanding the Procedure

Graft options and reconstruction technique depend on patient age, activity goals, anatomy and associated meniscus or cartilage injuries.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation progresses through motion, strength, neuromuscular control and sport-specific testing. Return to pivoting sports typically requires many months and individual clearance.
