ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Orthopedic Surgery in Houston, TX

Understanding ACL Injuries

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. A tear or rupture can happen during sports, high-impact activities, or sudden twisting movements. Without proper treatment, an ACL injury can cause ongoing instability, pain, and a higher risk of further knee damage.

At OccuHealth Surgery Center, we specialize in ACL reconstruction to restore stability and help you return to your normal activities with confidence.

Symptoms of an ACL Tear

An ACL injury often occurs during a sudden pivot, landing, or change of direction. Common signs include:

A popping sound at time of injury

Swelling

Pain/tenderness around the knee

Knee instability

Limited range of motion

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, early evaluation is important to prevent additional damage.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Our ACL surgeons begin with a detailed physical examination and imaging, such as MRI or X-rays, to confirm the extent of the injury. Accurate diagnosis ensures we can recommend the right treatment plan, whether that be surgical or non-surgical options

ACL Surgery Procedure

For patients with a complete tear or when the knee remains unstable after conservative treatment, reconstruction surgery may be recommended.

During ACL reconstruction:

  • The damaged ligament is replaced with a graft (either from the patient’s own tissue or a donor).
  • Minimally invasive techniques are used to reduce scarring and recovery time.
  • The graft is secured to restore normal knee mechanics and stability.

Our goal is to help you regain full function while protecting your long-term joint health.

Recovery After ACL Surgery

Rehabilitation is essential after ACL reconstruction. Recovery typically includes initial rest and protection of the joint. Our team will ensure that you have access to physical therapy to help restore your strength and flexibility.

Most patients return to daily activities within a few months, with full recovery taking 6–12 months, depending on activity level.

The process was seamless. All employees were polite and accommodating. My appointment was scheduled for the day after I called and my instructions were to bring a driver with me and be NPO, in the event surgery was required. The physician was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything. He assured I was clear on the diagnosis and care plan. I truly appreciated the model they have set up. Saves time, money and worry. I highly recommend this facility. Thank you for the professional and excellent care.
