When you tear your ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) it is likely to damage a crucial part of your knee's stability. To repair it surgeons usually perform a surgery called ACL reconstruction. During this procedure, the torn ACL is replaced with a new ligament and often taken from another part of your body or a donor. First, the surgeon makes small incisions around your knee to access the damaged ligament. Then they remove the torn ACL and prepare the aria for the new ligament. This new ligament is inserted and secured in a placebo with screws or other fixation devices. Over time the new ligament helps and becomes a strong support for your knee allowing you to regain stability and function. Physical therapy is usually part of the recovery process to help you regain strength and mobility in your knee.
