Types of ACL Surgery Treated at Terna Hospital

Surgical intervention depends on the extent of the ligament damage, your activity level, and whether you have had previous knee injuries.

ACL Reconstruction

ACL reconstruction involves removing the damaged ligament and replacing it with a graft. The graft is typically sourced from:

  • The patient’s own tendons (autograft)
  • Donor tissue (allograft)

The choice depends on your individual needs, activity level, and age. The procedure is typically done arthroscopically to minimize tissue damage and speed up recovery.

ACL Repair

ACL Repair (Partial Tears)

ACL repair is performed when the ligament is not fully torn, or if the injury is near the attachment site. This procedure is less common but ideal for select cases, especially if done shortly after the injury. In such cases, the ligament is sutured and anchored back to the bone.
