ACL reconstruction is a tissue graft replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament, located in the knee, to restore its function after an injury. The torn ligament is removed and replaced with a piece of tendon from another part of your knee or from a deceased donor. The procedure is performed arthroscopically through tiny incisions.
