   The torn ligament can either be removed from the knee (most common), or preserved (where the graft is passed inside the preserved ruptured native ligament) before reconstruction through an arthroscopic procedure. ACL repair is also a surgical option. This involves repairing the ACL by re-attaching it, instead of performing a reconstruction.

   If the tendon rupture is a partial tear (without the two parts of the tendon being separated), then non-surgical methods of treatment may suffice. The future of non-surgical care for partial patella tendon ruptures is likely bioengineering. Ligament reconstruction is possible using mesenchymal stem cells and a silk scaffold. [5]

   An orthopedic surgeon replaces the injured ligament with either a hamstring tendon from the patient [6] or from a allograft tendon from a cadaver [8] The surgeon uses an arthroscope to view the interior of the knee, and the reconstruction itself is performed with two small incisions. Initial surgery takes approximately one hour, and the patient ...
