About this Procedure
ACL reconstruction is surgery to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a band of tissue inside the knee that helps it move and stay stable. The NHS explains that the torn ligament is replaced with a graft, usually taken from another part of your body such as the hamstring, and held in place with screws or staples that stay in the knee permanently.
The ACL can be injured during sport, by a blow to the knee, or by twisting or suddenly changing direction or speed. Not every ACL injury needs surgery. Reconstruction may be recommended if you want to keep playing sport or doing intense exercise, or if your knee keeps giving way or causing problems after physiotherapy and lifestyle changes.
The operation is usually done using keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery under general anaesthesia or a spinal anaesthetic. According to the NHS, it normally takes between 1 and 3 hours and most people leave hospital on the same day, often with crutches and sometimes a knee brace. Regular physiotherapy follows for several months, most activities are possible again within a few months, and returning to sport can take up to a year.
