Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction
The knee joint has a fairly high mobility. It withstands high functional loads associated with the pressure of the human body weight on the lower limbs. This component of the musculoskeletal system contains strong connective tissue cords that connect the thighbone to shinbone. They are called cruciate ligaments.
Anatomically, the anterior (ACL) and posterior (PCL) cruciate ligaments are distinguished. They perform the function of additional strengthening and stabilization of the joint and prevent excessive displacement of the bone bases relative to each other.
ACL injuries most commonly happen during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing.
ACL reconstruction is recommended if:
- You are an athlete and your sport involves jumping, cutting or pivoting
- More than one ligament is injured
- You have torn ligament
- Twisting of the knee and the foot in opposite direction
