Introduction
Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Knee
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Hamstring Tendon Graft Reconstruction of the ACL.
When the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee is torn or injured, surgery may be needed to replace it. There are many different ways to do this operation. One is to take a piece of the hamstring tendon from behind the knee and use it in place of the torn ligament. When arranged into three or four strips, the hamstring graft has nearly the same strength as other available grafts used to reconstruct the ACL.
This guide will help you understand:
- what parts of the knee are treated during surgery
- how surgeons perform the operation
- what to expect before and after the procedure
