What is ACL Reconstruction?

The Term ACL stands for Anterior Cruciate Ligament. ACL Reconstrcution is also known as ligament surgery. It is found in the center of your knee. This ligament gets damaged when twisted too much, especially during playing games such as cricket, football.

The surgery is performed through small incisions that are made around the patient’s knee joint.

Types of ACL Surgery:

The goal is to get your knee stable again and give it the full range of motion it had before you got hurt. When the tendon is put into your knee, it’s known as a graft. Three types of grafts can be used with ACL surgery:

  • Allograft: This type of graft uses tissue from someone else (a deceased donor).
  • Synthetic graft: This is when artificial materials replace the tendon. Silver fibers and silk were among the first ones used (in the early part of the 20th century). More advanced options are available now, like carbon fiber and Teflon, but researchers are still working to find the best material for ACL replacement.
