ACL Reconstruction Surgery
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Surgery is a procedure used to repair or replace a torn ACL, one of the main ligaments in the knee that provides stability. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have experienced an ACL tear, often due to sports injuries, trauma, or activities involving sudden pivoting or twisting movements. A torn ACL can cause knee instability, pain, and limited mobility, which can hinder daily activities and prevent patients from participating in sports or physically demanding tasks.
When is ACL Reconstruction Surgery Done?
ACL reconstruction surgery is commonly recommended in the following scenarios:
- Severe ACL Tear: When the ligament is completely torn and causes instability in the knee.
- Active Lifestyle: For individuals, especially athletes, who engage in sports or physically demanding activities that require knee stability.
- Repeated Instability: If non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy) have not helped and the knee continues to give way or buckle.
- Associated Injuries: In cases where an ACL tear is accompanied by other injuries, such as meniscus tears or cartilage damage, reconstruction can help restore knee function.

Our Patients have happy stories to say
we’re here to answer all your questions about ACL Surgery
ACL reconstruction has a high success rate, especially when patients are committed to physical therapy. Most individuals experience restored knee stability, improved movement, and pain relief, allowing them to resume an active lifestyle.
Yes, small stitches or sutures are typically used to close the incisions made during ACL reconstruction surgery. These stitches may be dissolvable or need removal after a few weeks, depending on the type used. Doctors will provide instructions on how to care for the stitches, keep the area clean, and recognise any signs of infection.
Initially, physical therapy focuses on reducing swelling and regaining knee movement. Over time, it shifts to include strengthening exercises, balance work, and functional movements. By the later stages, sport-specific or activity-related exercises may be introduced, depending on your goals. A combination of supervised sessions and home exercises helps achieve full recovery.
As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, blood clots, knee stiffness, graft failure, and nerve or blood vessel injury. Working closely with our medical team and following post-operative care will minimize these risks.
Yes, most health insurance plans cover ACL reconstruction surgery if it's deemed medically necessary. Coverage typically includes the surgery, anesthesia, and necessary rehabilitation.
