An ACL tear is one of the most common and debilitating sports knee injuries, affecting athletes, recreational exercisers, and active individuals of all ages. The anterior cruciate ligament provides critical rotational stability to the knee, and when torn — whether partially or completely — it can cause significant instability, pain, swelling, and a marked loss of confidence in the joint during everyday activity and sport.

At our specialist clinic, our ACL surgeons provide thorough diagnostic assessment and individualised ACL tear treatment planning for patients across all activity levels. We evaluate each case using clinical examination, MRI imaging, and functional testing to determine whether conservative management, ACL reconstruction surgery, or a combination approach will deliver the best long-term outcome for your lifestyle and goals.

For patients requiring ACL knee surgery, our ACL specialists use minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to reconstruct the ligament using carefully selected graft tissue — including hamstring tendon autograft, bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, and quadriceps tendon autograft. Each approach is chosen based on your age, sport, knee anatomy, and any concurrent ligament or meniscal injuries identified during assessment. Our sports knee injury specialists work in close collaboration with physiotherapy and rehabilitation teams to ensure a structured, progressive return to full function.
