The expert team of Orthopaedic surgeons at King’s ACL Surgery clinic use minimally invasive procedures to repair a torn ACL. The procedure involves reconstruction of the completely torn ACL using a substitute graft made from the patient’s own tendon. This graft tendon may be taken either from the hamstring, kneecap, Achilles or the quadriceps. Physiotherapy after the surgery is highly recommended, as it is crucial to making a fast and full recovery and regaining your range of mobility.
Full recovery after a minimally invasive ACL surgery takes an average of nine months, but this varies from one case to the next, as well as the extent of the injury.
