The procedure

Graft choice matters. Volume matters more.

ACL reconstruction replaces the torn ligament with a graft — bone-patellar-tendon-bone (BTB), hamstring with the All-Inside technique, or quadriceps tendon. The right choice depends on your sport, age, anatomy, and goals, and your surgeon walks through the trade-offs in plain language at consultation.

Timing matters too: operating on a swollen, stiff knee raises the risk of post-operative stiffness, so your surgeon coordinates pre-hab and books surgery when your knee is ready — typically within 2–4 weeks of consultation and quote approval.
