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.
An ACL injury often occurs during a sudden pivot, landing, or change of direction. Common signs include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, early evaluation is important to prevent additional damage.
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
For patients with a complete tear or when the knee remains unstable after conservative treatment, reconstruction surgery may be recommended.
During ACL reconstruction:
Our goal is to help you regain full function while protecting your long-term joint health.
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.
