Showing Cruciate Ligament Surgery (ACL)

Traveling From Bermuda

The most common method of knee ligament repair is to use a tendon or tendons from elsewhere in your body to replace the anterior cruciate ligament ACL. Not all tendons in the body can be used because it is important that the tendon used to substitute the ACL is strong. The operation is usually carried out via key hole surgery with an arthroscope, a medical instrument like a thin telescope with a light attached.
