Knee Ligament Reconstruction
The knee joint has four main stabilising ligaments. Not all knee ligament injuries require surgery. Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), deep within the knee joint, is often the result of sporting activity. Rupture of the ACL may lead to a sense of knee instability which impairs the return to normal function. An ACL reconstruction can be performed using key-hole (arthroscopic) techniques.
