What is ACL Repair / ACL Reconstruction?
Explore ACL Reconstruction with Top New Jersey Knee Surgeon
The intricate network of tissues in your knee includes two crucial components: the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). These pivotal ligaments uphold knee stability and enable multi-directional movement. When one of these ligaments suffers a tear, surgical intervention is often required to facilitate proper healing.
Understanding ACL Reconstruction
- Your surgeon harvests healthy tissues from other body areas to aid in ligament reconstruction.

Why Opt for ACL Reconstruction?
ACL reconstruction is a pivotal solution employed to mend a compromised ACL ligament, which may sustain damage due to:
- Swift directional changes, particularly during high-speed running
- Sudden twisting of the leg or knee
- Falls resulting in direct knee impact
Similar surgical techniques are available to address less frequent knee ligament injuries, encompassing the following:
- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
- Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
- Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
Are You a Candidate for Partial Knee Resurfacing?
Ideal candidates for partial knee replacement have arthritis limited to a single knee compartment and generally maintain a healthy weight. This procedure is not suitable for patients with significant knee stiffness or angular deformities. Intact knee ligaments are usually required for a successful outcome. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are typically not considered for partial knee solutions, as this form of arthritis typically affects the entire joint.
