An ACL patella tendon harvest repair is a surgical procedure used to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The surgeon removes a portion of the patellar tendon, along with small pieces of bone from the kneecap (patella) and the tibia, to create a graft. This graft is then used to replace the damaged ACL, restoring stability to the knee.
The patellar tendon graft is often chosen for its strength and ability to mimic the function of the original ligament. Recovery includes physical therapy to restore range of motion, strength, and function, with full rehabilitation typically taking several months.
