UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT
Move towards a more comfortable everyday life
The ACL is a strong band inside your knee that helps keep it stable when you turn or change direction. Reconstruction replaces a torn ACL with a tendon graft—a piece of tendon used to form a new ligament. Treatment aims to improve knee stability and confidence in movement.
01
More confidence in a knee that gives way
Reconstruction aims to improve stability when an ACL injury makes your knee feel unreliable.
02
Treatment shaped around your activity
Your specialist considers your work, sport and daily needs alongside your scans and previous rehabilitation.
03
A structured return to movement
Rehabilitation builds movement, strength and balance, helping you progress towards your activity goals.
PROCEDURE OPTIONS
An ACL reconstruction plan built around your knee
Your assessment covers the torn ligament, the condition of the rest of your knee and the best graft choice for your procedure.
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction
