ACL: Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Graft

During sports-related activity, like pivoting or landing on the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) may suddenly tear. To repair this type of knee injury, the Total Joint and Sports Medicine experts at Tucson Orthopaedic Institute may choose to perform an ACL: Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Graft.
