What is ACL Reconstruction?

ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure that replaced the old damaged Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Who can benefit from ACL Reconstruction?

Many people can benefit from ACL Reconstruction. For example, those that are suffering in day-to-day life with their knee giving way may find ACL Reconstruction helpful as it will restore normal function.

Also, those that love high-level sports, and fitness, and value an active life often seek out Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The reason is that wear and tear can cause the ACL to fail, and this in turn will affect their performance and stability when twisting the knee or changing direction quickly. Of course, as these are things that are essential for sports performance, seeking to have the issue resolved can be of great benefit.

The success rate of ACL Reconstruction

ACL Reconstruction surgery is one of the common procedures performed by knee specialists and is a simple procedure with a high success rate (90s+). Indeed, ACL Reconstruction surgery is so successful that for most, they not only regain day-to-day function but can get back to playing the strenuous sports they love too.

The process involved in ACL Reconstruction

The process of Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction involves removing the damaged ligament and then replacing it with a healthy and more stable graft. The result of this process is that your knee will be far more stable, and will no longer give way.
