Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is the major ligament of the knee, which stabilizes the joint, especially in pivoting movements.

ACL can be torn following an injury, ranging from a trivial fall during sporting activities, road accidents, etc. Knee pain and swelling following an ACL injury usually settles down in a week. Even so, the knee might feel unstable, especially on slippery or uneven surfaces or during activities. Every time the knee slips, there is a risk of damaging other typical structures in the knee, including meniscus and cartilage.

The cure to this issue is to prevent the knee from slipping further.

This could be achieved by various means such as :

• Rehabilitation Exercises.
• Braces.
• Arthroscopic ACL Repair.
• Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction.
• Augmented ALL Reconstruction.
• Augmented Alignment Correction Osteotomy.

The above treatment methods are essential for an individual depending on multiple factors, which the knee specialist will then evaluate at Ortho-One.
