Who Needs ACL Reconstruction Surgery?
ACL reconstruction is for those experiencing knee instability, pain, and difficulty with movement. An MRI scan helps confirm the need for surgery to restore function and stability.
Knee Instability
Severe instability increases the risk of further damage without surgical intervention
Involvement in Sports
Regular athletes may need surgery to restore knee stability and prevent further injuries
Occupational Demands
Individuals in physically demanding jobs may require surgery for full functionality
Additional Injuries
Meniscus tears and other knee damage may heal better when treated alongside ACL reconstruction
What is ACL Reconstruction?
ACL reconstruction is performed to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the ligament connecting the thigh bone to the shin bone for knee stability.
Patellar Tendon Autograft
Uses the patient’s own patellar tendon for reconstruction
Hamstring Tendon Autograft
Utilises the patient’s hamstring tendon for repair
Allograft
Uses donor tissue from a cadaver, including patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, Achilles, or other ankle tendons
ACL reconstruction restores knee stability and prevents excessive movement by replacing the damaged ligament with a strong, durable graft, allowing for improved mobility and reduced pain.
