What is ACL Reconstruction surgery?

When the ACL ligament is torn, and the patient wishes to regain full ability of the knee by being active and participating in sports; reconstruction of the ligament must be performed in an outpatient surgery. The torn ligament will first be removed by Dr. Vangsness, and then replaced with a new ligament or “graft,” which will be secured with screws. Typically, patients who have mended their torn ACL with surgery can go home the same day.
