Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Repair

Restoring Stability to Your Knee

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair surgery is a procedure designed to fix a torn ligament in your knee. The ACL is a crucial band of tissue that helps maintain stability in the knee joint. When it becomes torn, you may experience a wobbly feeling or instability in your knee.

During the ACL repair surgery, the surgeon replaces the damaged ligament with a piece of tendon, which may be harvested from another part of your body or obtained from a donor. This new tendon serves as a scaffold, allowing new ligament tissue to grow and stabilise the knee over time.

After your Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair, you will work closely with physical therapists to regain strength and mobility in your knee, facilitating a return to your normal activities.
