Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL reconstruction) is a surgical tissue graft replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament, located in the knee, to restore its function after anterior cruciate ligament injury. All Island Orthopaedics physicians are specialized in treating such conditions. But how do we perform ACL reconstruction? There are two alternative replacement materials for ACL reconstruction. Autografts where bone or tissue is harvested from the patient's body and allografts where some bone or tissue from a donor's body is used. After the surgery, there will be a period of recovery. Initial physical therapy consists of a range of motion exercises. Range of motion exercise examples includes: quadriceps contractions and straight leg raises. The recovery period will last for several months and consists in four phases. All Island Orthopedics are specialized in ACL reconstruction procedures and will accompany you through all steps of your recovery.
Every surgery requires some preparation. Removing the anxiety is one of our top priorities, from medication and home planning to recovery and rehabilitation, our team of orthopedic physicians are here to help and will guide you through every step.
The All Island Orthopedics team wishes its patients in Jackson Heights a speedy and full recovery.
