An ACL tear, which is a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, is a common injury among athletes. Repairing it often involves an ACL reconstruction surgery, in which a new ACL is created from a tissue graft. In this episode, Dr. David Altchek is joined by fellow HSS orthopedic surgeons Dr. Thomas Wickiewicz and Dr. Moira McCarthy. Together, they discuss what goes into choosing the best type of graft for each patient, as well as the role of donor grafts. They also explain recovery times after an ACL reconstruction surgery and when to expect getting back to playing sports.
