ACL Reconstruction
A definition of ACL Reconstruction (hurt knee, stiff knee)
ACL stands for anterior cruciate ligament which is located in the side of the knee. Tears of the ACL can occur due to injury or weakened connective tissues. Reconstruction is preformed through minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, and a tissue graft if used to repair the ACL. The patient will often need to perform exercises to lengthen the surrounding connective tissue that may have shortened post surgery. Wearing a dynamic splint for rehabilitation will lengthen and remodel the tissue to restore range of motion to allow you to return to daily activities. If you have had ACL reconstruction, you may want to consider wearing a Dynasplint® System to aid in your recovery process.
