Innovations in ACL reconstruction surgery

Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a crucial structure directly involved in knee function, including movement, walking, and running. An ACL injury can lead to abnormal knee function and potentially impact daily activities. Current treatments for ACL injuries include conservative treatment and physical therapy for mild cases. However, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery has become a widely used approach, incorporating advanced techniques to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. The objective of this article is to provide an overview of ACL reconstruction techniques, graft selection, and surgical outcomes, highlighting innovations that contribute to improved treatment efficacy.
