Knee reconstruction surgery

YOUR MOBILE KNEE
Your knee is a mobile, complex joint, which has the ability to bend and rotate slightly. Knee ligaments help control motion by connecting bones and bracing the joint against abnormal types of motion. Other parts of your knee, like cartilage, serve to cushion your knee, or help it absorb shock during motion.

ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT (ACL)
Your ACL crosses from the back of your femur to the front of your tibia. Although it acts like a strong brace for your knee, the ACL is injured more often than the PCL because it's smaller and more susceptible to twisting.
