9. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cruciate_ligament...

   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.
