What exactly is ACL reconstruction?
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is the primary ligament of the knee. If someone is participating in a game, particularly those that require abrupt stops and sudden changes of direction e.g.:- Volleyball, soccer, basketball, football, etc. This procedure is performed by a surgeon who is specialized in joints and bones.
Ligaments are important bands of tissue that connect one bone to the other. When you undergo ACL rehabilitation, the injured ligament is separated and replaced with a graft that connects muscles to bone. The tendon graft is taken from the other area of the knee.

During the procedure: The surgeon will take out your ligament injured to replace the injured ligament with a portion of the tendon. The substitute substance is referred to as a graft and it is derived by removing tissue from an unidentified donor or component that is part of the knee. The surgeon will make holes into the shinbone as well as the Thighbone to ensure that the graft is placed correctly. The graft serves as a foundation for the tissues of the ligament to grow.
Post-Procedure: The patient is able to go to their home the next day if they have recovered from general anesthesia. The surgeon may suggest that patients wear knee braces, which can assist in securing the graft. The patient may also be required to walk with crutches.
