What is ACL Surgery?

The ACL, or Anterior Cruciate Ligament, is one of several ligaments that stabilize your knee. If you’ve injured or completely torn your ACL, you may experience your knee “giving out“ when you need to quickly change direction. At Children’s Hospital Colorado, our orthopedic surgeons and Sports Medicine Team specialize in treating ACL injuries in children, teens and adults; they can offer several options to reconstruct your ACL. We also help guide young athletes through their post-surgery rehab to get them back up to speed. With time and patience, you can recover from your ACL injury and get back to the sports and activities that you love. To learn more, visit:
