At Lenmed Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction is performed using advanced arthroscopic visualization, specialized surgical instruments, and personalized rehabilitation protocols. Established in 1984, this COHSASA, ISQua accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 254 beds and offers specialized sports medicine and orthopedic services.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction may be recommended for patients with a complete or functionally significant ACL tear who experience knee instability or wish to return to activities involving pivoting and sudden changes in direction. The surgeon removes or preserves damaged ligament tissue as appropriate and creates bone tunnels in the femur and tibia to position the replacement graft. The graft is then secured to provide stability while it incorporates into the surrounding bone. Physical therapy begins after surgery and progresses gradually according to healing and functional recovery.
