Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction

What is an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACL) Reconstruction?

ACL reconstruction can be performed as an outpatient procedure with minimal incision and low complication rates.

Advanced arthroscopic techniques provide surgeons with direct visual access to knee structures, making it easier to perform ligament reconstruction. A minimally invasive procedure can be performed at the same time as arthroscopy, increasing the chances of a successful return to sports or daily activity.

What are causes of ACL Injury?

If you have a soccer, tennis, basketball and football or ski injury, if you need to plan your daily activities or if you are an athlete suffering after an injury, we can help you.

If you have ACL injury, surgical reconstruction is an option. Our surgeon will tell you if you are a candidate for the surgery. Weight bearing and range of motion activities should be delayed for 4-6 weeks to allow time for neovascularization (new blood vessel formation). To avoid stiffness after surgery and ensure the best results, we will design a custom rehabilitation for your ACL.

What the risks and complication?

As with any type of surgery, there are risks associated with ACL surgery. Some of these risks include:

Infection
Shock
Blood clots
Breathing issues
Trouble peeing
Knee pain
Stiffness in your knee
A graft not healing well
A graft failing after you return to physical activity
