Knee Ligament (ACL) Surgery

The anterior cruciate ligament, also called the ACL, is one of the four major ligaments of the knee and the most commonly injured, accounting for 40% of all sports injuries. The ACL prevents excessive motion of the knee joint. As a result, patients who sustain an injury to their ACL may complain of their knee "giving out" periodically.

The standard surgery for an ACL tear is called an ACL reconstruction. A repair of the ligament is rarely a possibility, and thus the ligament is reconstructed using another tendon or ligament to substitute for the torn ligament.
